ABSTRACT
One htmdy'edand ni.nefu -fout Lichen species are reported from WestermAustralia ui,th infornation on their dLstr"tbution. The Li,st of species is based on prouisionalLy deternrined speci.mens deposited in the Westerm Austt'alitt Herbar"iwn. ?he Lichen flora of the state i,s il:Luerse, the most Lzrcur"ient grotsth occurrLng i,n the south-uesltem comey. As LittLe i-s kraan of the Lichern of the z:emaird.er of the state " parti.cular:Ly the north-east, tnrch research remaina to be done on thei.r. taronom7 and distr"ibut ion.
INTRODUCTION
Little intensive research has been done on the lichen flora of Western Australia though collections were nade at quite an early date, The earliest taxononic publication appears to be that of Fries (1846), who described 25 species, the Tesult of collections by L. Preiss fron Rottnest Island and the south-west part of the state. The following year Taylor (1847) listed 1"6 lichens from Western Australia in his catalogue of the W.J. Hooker Herbariun. Mueller (1887) collated the early records and produced a list of Australian lichens, includlng two species from Western Australia which had not previously been recorded:. Cladia aggregata and CLadon'Laretipot u", the latter now segregated in Western Australia as Cla&ia ferdi,nandii.
In the 1890s, according to Sanmy (1970), F,R.M. Wilson recorded a further 20 lichen species for Western Australia. Wilson did not collect 1n the state but was sent specimens by the naturalist A.J. Carnpbell.
The start of a new era of interest ln the lichen flora of Westem Australia was rnarked by the publication, in 1955, of an annotated list based on collections made between 1929 and 1952 and deposited in the herbariurn of the University of Western Australia (Bibby and Smith 1955). ThiTty-six species were recorded with a brief nention of their distribution

Srnith (1962) studied the flora of the granite outcrops in the Porongurup Range, near Mount Barker, finding 12 species of which two, CoLLena sp. and CLad.oni,achLoroplnea*, were not included in his earlier paper (Bibby Q Srnith 1955), A very different habitat, the Nullarbor Plain, was exanined by Johnson and Baird (1970) who recorded 12 lichen species and nade brief descriptions of their habitats. Samny and Srlith (1974) studied the axea of coastal lirnestone near Perth where they described and gave habitat preferences for 13 lichens. Recently, Samny has been working on his extensive collections rnade fron Western Australia, particularly the north- west of the state, but the results have yet to be published.
The purpose of the present paper is to provide a list of the Western Australian lichen species represented in the Western Australian Herbarium (PERITI). The specimens have been cuxated to a high standard, are available for study and should allow botanists to deternine lichen specitnens with greater ease. It is also hoped that the publication of this annotated list will encourage further collecting and stinulate lichenological research in Western Austral ia.
METHODS
The recent book by Filson and Rogers (1979) was found to be very useful for determination of the specirnens collected. Provisional deternln- ations for many crustose species were nade using the following papers: Dobson (1979), Duncan (1970), Fink (1935) and Snith (1911, 1918)' Other useful publications were Dahl and Krog (1973) ' E11x (1979) ard Martin and child ( 1972).
Hand sections were cut of fruiting structuxes and chenical spot-tests were carried out using 10% KOH, calciurn h)?ochlorite and Steinexrs stable paraphenyl enedi anine solution.
The narnes and authorities given in the list of lichens are in most cases derived from Filson and Rogers (1979). The specimens are currently curated under these names in the Western Australian Herbarium. However where the nanes in our list differ frorn the checklist of Hawksworth, James and Coppins (1980), footnotes give the revised narnes. The localities given for each species are fron data on specirnens in the Western Australian Herbarir:m, supplenented by records frorn the Herbariurn of the University of Western Australia, For those unfaniliar with the geography of the state, nost sites may be located with the help of Anon (1980),
Duplicates of the lichen specimens narked in the list with the synbol + have been lodged in the Herbariun, National Museurn of Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, and the Herbari,un of Trinity College, University of Dublin, Ireland.
DISCUSSION
Habitat descriptions are not given in this paper, since rnany of the species listed are also found in South Australia and their habitats described in the xecent book by Filson and Rogers (1.979).
* Not included in the present llst as the Western Australian Herbariun holds no natexial , No. 7 Lichens in the Western Australian Herbariun 19
According to Erlckson et aI . (1979) WestexnAustralia rnaybe divided into 16 plant regions; the lichen flora of someof these is discussed below.
certain species such as Cladia aggregata, Chordropsis setnLuirtdLs, Pannelia rwtidota, Patmelia tasman'Lca and TeLoscVrtstes chrysophthalants , are recorded in nany of the vegetation regions but others, such as Sgnalissa syrnphorea, appear to be restricted to the drier interior including the Transitional Woodlandand the region of lfulga, Wattle, Scrub and Spinifex.
The SwanCoastal Plain and Darling Scarp have nany crustose, foliose and fruticose repres entat ives . The following species tend to be abundant: CLadLa agg reg ata, Chandropsi s s enrtoi.r,tdLs, DLspLos chis t es ecrupo sus " Heterodea tm,LeLLerL,SiphuLa cor"iacea, XanthoyLapar"tetina, several species of Panneli.a and Usnea spp.
The Jarrah and Karri Foriests are surprisingly poor in corticolous lichens. This may be due to periodic shedding af the EucalAptus bark, i.nhibitory substances and frequent fires, Leprar"ta candela!"Ls occurs infrequently on tree bases and Thgsutotleciwn lt4alinurn is connon on burnt wood-
The Albany District, by contrast, has a diverse lichen flora and this is the only area in Western Australia in which PaztnelieLla pLwrbea, Rino&Lrn confz'agosa and SoLeropsota oultur"Lernlls have been found. CladDrvia and Pannelia spp. are abwdant and the genera Anzia, BueLLia" CaLopLaca, Heterodea, Lecqnora, Leatdea, Leprarta" PertusarLa, TeLoschisbes and, Xartthor"La are connon.
The nost varied and abundant lichen growth appears to be in the Stirling Range. Lichens of particular interest include At tVnnia sp. Stet eocaulon aff. dactylophyllun" Urnbi,Li,co,r,iasp. Others such as CatilLat"ta atnopurpurea, Leptogiun Lichernides, ParmarLa pityrea, llsnea spp. and,PseudocyphelLar'ia spp. cover extenslve areas of many of the south- facing slopes. The genera Cla&tnia and Pannelia are also well represented.
The Southern Sandplains and Heaths are rich in soil lichens such as Chondxopsis s ani,tirtdLs, Cladta aggregata, Cladia ferdinandLi, Dennatocaapon Lachneum, Fulgensta subbracteata, Heterodea rm,rcLLerl, Ie.cidea cry staLLi fera and Si,phula co?Lacea. Yellow-green Patmeli,a spp,, including P, calLifoli,a, P. australasica" P. tasmanica and P. tezry:estrLs, are also abundant on soil and rocks.
Few specinens have been collected fTorn the Barrens or the Northern Sandplains and heath regions. In contrast, lichens seelnto be widespread and localLy abundant, on soil and rocks, in partially shaded areas or south- facing slopes of the Wheatbelt, Transitional Woodlandand in the region of Ilulga, Wattle Scrub and Spinifex. Species include CTandz,opsis semiuit"idis, Hetev'odea beaugLeholei " Heterod-ea rnelleri, Diploschistes and Lectdea spp, CandelarielLa, Cladoni.a, Pamelia and Phgcia spp. are also conrnon.
Lichens of the Nullarbor Plain have been listed, by Johnson and Baird (1970), but no mention is nade of their abundance or importance. Lecdrlora sptnerospora and Lecidea aff. glauca are the only species of the twelve recorded which do not appear from other sites in Western Australia.
The North-West Coastal Region and the Ranges and Tablelands in that area are not well represented in the Western Australian Herbariun collections, 20 R.M. Richardson and D.H.S. Richardson No. 7
The Kimberley Region is another that xequixes additional study: interesting records to date include Acat:ospora aff. fLaua, Bar:tdia wLcrophyLlirn" BueLLia aff, [etrouertens and RoceLLa aff. montagnei.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
We wish to thank Dr. J.l1I. Green and the staff of the Western Australian Herbariun for providlng facilities and a congenial atmosphet:e during our stay in Austlalla when this work was undertaken.
We would also like to express our appreciation to Rex Filson, at the National Herbariun of Victoria, for his help and encouragenent. Finally we thank Mr. P.W. Janes and Dr. A. Henssen for providing determinations for a nunber of specimens during their brief visit to the W.A. Herbarium.
