Polyblastidium japonicum is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), foliose lichen in the family Physciaceae. It is found in Japan.

Taxonomy

The species was first scientifically described in 1936 by the Japanese lichenologist Masami Satô, who considered it as a variety of what was then known as Anaptychia dendritica. Syo Kurokawa promoted it to full species status in 1962. It was transferred to the newly circumscribed genus Polyblastidium in 2015 by Klaus Kalb.
