View through CrossRef
Terai regions of Uttar Pradesh is one of the richest area for lichen diversity in the state represented by 81 species under 37 genera and 23 families. Out of these, 66 species are crustose, 11 foliose, 3 squamulose and 1 leprose. Graphidaceae shows highest generic as well as species diversity with 5 genera and 15 species followed by Ramalinaceae with 2 genera and 10 species.
