Menegazzia globulifera is a species of foliose lichen found in New Zealand, Australia, and southern South America. It was formally described as a species new to science in 1942 by Swedish lichenologist Rolf Santesson. The type specimen was collected north of Lago Fagnano (Tierra del Fuego, Argentina).[1] The lichen is typically encountered as an epiphyte, but occasionally it has been recorded growing on rocks. Menegazzia globulifera contains usnic acid and lecanoric acid as major lichen products.[2]
