Vezdaea schuyleriana is a lichen that is only known to exist on a single boulder near Lewisburg, Pennsylvania. It was discovered by James Lendemer, then a doctoral student at the New York Botanical Garden and research associate at the Academy of Natural Sciences, who published his discovery in the March 2011 issue of Notulae Natureae.[1] He named it in honor of Dr. Alfred "Ernie" Schuyler, emeritus curator of botany at the Academy.[2]
