Willeya irrigata is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling) crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae.[1] Found in Nepal, it was described by the lichenologist Alan Orange in 2022. It is characterised by a thallus that cracks into distinct dark-sided areoles, and by its relatively large ascospores, which measure 28.5–40 micrometres.[2]
