Australasia is a center of endemism for the lichen genus Cladonia and its allies. The taxonomic diversity of this genus in New Zealand is remarkable, with approximately 60 species recognized. This paper treats 21 species of Cladonia, including eight new taxa: C. cyanopora, C. darwinii, C. fuscofunda, C. gallowayi, C. incerta, C. pulchra, C. nitidella, and C. strangulata. Eight additional species not previously known from New Zealand are also discussed.
