India has a rich diversity of lichens, including the pyrenocarpous lichens, which is a group of lichens that have flask-shaped ascocarps called perithecia
Summary
The Journal of Threatened Taxa (JoTT) is dedicated to building evidence for conservation globally by publishing peer-reviewed articles online every month at a reasonably rapid rate at www.threatenedtaxa.org. The Western Ghats and eastern Himalayan regions hold the highest number of cryptogams together with lichens (Sinha et al 2018). Both regions are rich in biodiversity so far and lichenologically were investigated by various workers for doing revisionary and floristic studies of the states. Upreti (1991a,b, 1992, 1993a,b) studied the Pyrenula genus of pyrenocarpous lichens from India and reported several new records for Indian lichen biota. Jagadeesh et al (2005) revised the genus Pyrenula and reported Pyrenula subcylindrica Jagadeesh & Upreti new to science from India. Ingle et al (2018) listed Pyrenula taxa from India and reported 77 species including 10 new records from the country. Based on a revisionary study of Pyrenula, the aim of the present study is to provide a new record for lichen biota
