Lecanora kohu is a species of lichen in the family Lecanoraceae.[1] Found in the Chatham Islands of New Zealand, it was formally described as new to science in 2017.[2]
It is similar in morphology to Lecanora symmicta, from which it is distinguished by the continuous, areolate thallus, immersed apothecia with pale pink to pink-brown discs, and by the presence of atranorin and psoromic acid rather than usnic acid, zeorin and xanthones in the thallus.[2]
