Ramalina farinacea is a species of fruticose lichen in the family Ramalinaceae. It appears as small, shrub-like tufts typically 3–6 cm (1.2–2.4 in) long that hang from tree branches and trunks, particularly in woodland areas and on isolated trees. Distinguished by its flattened, yellow-green to grey-green branches with powdery white spots along the edges, this lichen is widespread throughout temperate regions, especially in coastal areas with oceanic climates.
