Flavoplaca flavocitrina is a species of crustose lichen in the family Teloschistaceae. ^[2] Found in Europe, it was originally described as a new species in 1886 by the Finnish lichenologist William Nylander, who classified it as a member of the genus Lecanora . ^[3] After having spent time in various different genera throughout its taxonomic history, ^[1] it was reclassified in the genus Flavoplaca in 2013 following a molecular phylogenetics-informed reorganization of the Teloschistaceae. ^[4]
