Xanthoparmelia callifolioides is a foliose lichen that belongs to the genus Xanthoparmelia.[2]
Xanthoparmelia callifolioides grows to around 5–10 cm in diameter with broad light green lobes that are 1.5-3mm wide. It grows on small stones, pebbles, and nearby soil. Its back side contains moderate collections of patchy simple rhizines that are approximately 1–2 mm long. A close relative is the lichen Xanthoparmelia taractica.[3]
