Abstract

A checklist 118 lichens species is prepared by compiling the published literature, unreported species from herbarium LWG and fresh collection from Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary. The study added 47 species as new to Goa and Anisomeridium angulosum (Müll. Arg.) R.C. Harris as new to India. The state lichen biota is dominated by crustose lichens belonging to Graphidaceous and Pyrenocarpous group. Maximum number of lichens are listed from Cotigao Wildlife Sanctuary with 67 species. The study would serve as baseline information for further studies on lichen biota as well as biomonitoring in Goa
