Xanthoparmelia verruculifera es un liquen folioso con un talo de lobulación irregular, de color verde amarillento, que crece en rocas silíceas expuestas y suelos en hábitats abiertos. Contiene ácido úsnico y otros metabolitos secundarios que protegen contra la radiación UV y la desecación. Casi Amenazada, esta especie enfrenta presión por la degradación del hábitat, la perturbación del suelo y la contaminación atmosférica en su área de distribución.
