An Enumeration of Lichenized Fungi from Sikandra Dhar Region of District Mandi, Himachal Pradesh
Journal Title: Journal of Biological and chemical Chronicles - Year 2018, Vol 4, Issue 2
Abstract
Floristic studies have been initiated to explore diversity of lichenized fungi in Sikandra dhar region of district Mandi, Himachal Pradesh (India). Sikandra dhar region is situated in Shivalik hills zone of North-West Himalaya. A total of three hundred specimens of lichenized fungi were collected from Sikandra dhar region. During the morpho-chemotaxonomic investigations, a total of twenty five species of lichens (Aspicilia calcarea (L.) Körb., Brianaria bauschiana (Körb.) S. Ekman & M. Svenss., Candelaria concolor (Dicks.) Arnold, Canoparmelia pustulescens (Kurok.) Elix, Chrysothrix candelaris (L.) J.R. Laundon, C. chlorina (Ach.) J.R. Laundon, Cladonia coniocraea (Flörke) Spreng, Dermatocarpon vellereum Zschacke, Heterodermia pseudospeciosa (Kurok.) W.L. Culb, Hyperphyscia syncolla (Tuck. ex Nyl.) Kalb, Hypotrachyna masonhalei Patw. & Prabhu, Lecanora chlarotera Nyl., Parmotrema austrosinense (Zahlbr.) Hale, P. ravum (Krog & Swinscow) Sérus, P. tinctorum (Despr. ex Nyl.) Hale, Phaeophyscia ciliata (Hoffm.) Moberg, P. hispidula (Ach.) Essl, Physcia crispa Nyl, P. integrata Nyl, P. semipinnata (Leers ex J.F. Gmel.) Moberg, Punctelia neutralis (Hale) Krog, P. subrudecta (Nyl.) Krog, Pyxine asiatica Vain, P. isidiophora (Müll. Arg.) Imshaug and P. subcinerea Stirt), belonging to fifteen genera (viz. Aspicilia A. Massal, Brianaria S. Ekman & M. Svenss, Candelaria A. Massal, Canoparmelia Elix & Hale, Chrysothrix Mont, Cladonia P. Browne, Dermatocarpon Eschw, Heterodermia Trevis, Hyperphyscia Müll. Arg, Hypotrachyna (Vain.) Hale, Lecanora Ach, Parmotrema A. Massal, Phaeophyscia Moberg, Punctelia Krog, Pyxine Fr.) of ten families (viz. Caliciaceae, Candelariaceae, Chrysotrichaceae, Cladoniaceae, Lecanoraceae, Megasporaceae, Parmeliaceae, Physciaceae, Psoraceae, Verrucariaceae) of lichenized fungi have been identified. Parmeliaceae and Physciaceae are the dominant families with six species each followed by Caliciaceae with three species. All these taxa have been recorded for the first time from Sikandra dhar region and deposited in CPUH ((The herbarium, Department of Bio- Sciences, Career Point University Hamirpur).
