Porina duduana is a species of foliicolous lichen belonging to the family Porinaceae.[1] It was discovered in Yangambi, in the Democratic Republic of the Congo on the leaves of Scaphopetalum thonneri and subsequently described as new to science in 2014.[2] It resembles Porina rufula in appearance but differs in the arrangement of photobiont cells and in having smaller perithecia and smaller ascospores.[2]
