Cladonia transcendens or the graduated cup lichen[1] is a species of fruticose, cup lichen in the family Cladoniaceae.

## Taxonomy

The lichen was first formally described by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in the first volume of his 1887 work Monographia cladoniarum with the name Cladonia corrallifera γ. transcendens.[2] The type material was collected from Oregon by David Lyall in 1858. In 1898, Vainio raised this taxon to species level.[3]

Teuvo Ahti and Paula DePriest put forth a proposal to conserve the name Cladonia transcendens with a conserved type in 2005.[4] This was later accepted by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi.[5]
