  • Annotated Checklist of the Lichens and Lichenicolous Fungi of Bhutan
    Fungal Diversity Annotated checklist of the lichens and lichenicolous fungi of Bhutan A. Aptroot1* and F.J. Feijen2 'Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures. P.O. Box 85167, NL-3508 AD Utrecht, The Netherlands 2Piet Heinlaan 5, NL-2341 SG Oegstgeest, The Netherlands Aptroot, A. and Feijen, FJ. (2002). Annotated checklist of the lichens and lichenicolous fungi of Bhutan. Fungal Diversity 11: 21-48. An annotated checklist is presented of the 287 lichens and lichenicolous fungi known from Bhutan. The vast majority (225) are new records for the country, based on recent collections of 264 species by the second author. Most species were previously known from the Himalayas, but some represent considerable range extensions. Noticeable examples are the rare Ropalospora chlorantha, so far only known from eastern North America, and the fITstreport from the Northern Hemisphere of Lepraria nigrocincta. Pyrrhospora bhutanensis is described as new to science. Key words: Bhutan, checklist, Himalaya, lichenicolous, lichens. Introduction The Kingdom of Bhutan is located in the eastern Himalayas. It stretches 300 kilometres from west to east, and about 150 kilometres from north to south. Bhutan has an extremely varied landscape, going from the high mountains (up to 7553 m) in the north to the lowland belt in the south (100-300 m altitude). A number of north-south running rivers created narrow valleys with each their own characteristics. The frontier between the Palaearctic and the Oriental biogeographical regions runs midway through the country. The country can be divided in three climatic zones: alpine, temperate and subtropical. Precipitation varies enormously within the country. In the subtropical south, monsoon rainfall reaches 5.5 m annually, while in the temperate foothills rainfall is moderate and both dry and wet valleys occur.

It is characterized by a coriaceous thallus with very sparsely ciliate lobes, strictly marginal soralia with farinose to subgranular soredia, a white medulla and containing conalectoronic and subalectoronic acids in addition to alectoronic and α-collatolic acids. It is closely related to P. exquisitum, which differs in lacking marginal cilia, in having submarginal to laminal soralia with farinose soredia, and its medullar chemistry. This new species is described and illustrated in this paper. Comparisons with other sorediate Parmotrema species with medullary alectoronic acid are included. Keywords: Araucaria angustifolia forests, lichens, Parmotrema exquisitum, Parmotrema rampoddense, protected areas Resumen Una nueva especie de Parmotrema, P. pseudoexquisitum, fue encontrada en los bosques de Araucaria angustifolia en el nor- deste de Argentina.

Introduction. Medicinal utility of lichens is ascribed to the presence of various secondary metabolites of low molecular weight and they have been used in traditional medicine including Ayurveda in the treatment of wounds and skin disorders. Despite the urgent need to effectively address the antibiotic resistance worldwide, the discovery of new antibacterial drugs has declined in the recent past. +is emphasizes the increasing importance of investigating and developing new classes of antibiotics that can withstand antibiotic resistance.
