Etymology

jacinda-arderniae: Named in honour of Jacinda Ardern (1980–), the 40th Prime Minister of New Zealand, and the third and youngest woman to hold that position. In bestowing this name, we also wish to acknowledge that Ocellularia jacinda-arderniae was discovered in 2018, the 125th anniversary of woman’s suffrage in New Zealand, making it all the more fitting that we name a lichen after a prominent female New Zealand politician.
