During the present study sixty six specimens of lichens were collected from Bhoranj block of Hamirpur district, Himachal Pradesh. A total of twelve species of lichens belonging six genera and four families were recorded. All the species were identified on the basis of morphological and anatomical investigation. The ecological species diversity (α, β and γ diversity) of twelve species was calculated. Physcia dubia is most common species. All the taxa were deposited in CPUH (The Herbarium, Department of Biosciences, Career Point University, Hamirpur).
Centipeda minima is used as ethno-medicinal plant for treatment of various ailments. The present study was aimed to explore its pharmacognostic, fluorescence and Bio-chemical screening. The physical values like total ash, acid insoluble ash, water-soluble ash, alcohol soluble extractive and water-soluble extractives were determined. Air-dried powdered material has been subjected to qualitative and quantitative physicochemical estimations. The pharmacognostic evaluation total ash and quantitative analysis of leaves has revealed the presence of flavonoids, tannins, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, glycosides, fats and carbohydrates. Its decoction is mostly used in paralysis and pain in the joints, and also against malaria, hepatitis, diabetes mellitus, eczema, insect or snake bites, and opium poisoning in lower shivallik hills of Himachal Pradesh. The natural stock of medicinal plants is under tremendous pressure. It must be conserved and promoted its commercial cultivation. Pharmacognostic and bio-chemical investigation also provides useful information in regard to its correct identity and help to differentiate it from the closely related other species of Centipeda
During present investigation a total of 66 specimens of lichen were collected from three localities (Berthin, Shahtalai and Jamli) of district Bilaspur in Himachal Pradesh. A total 12 species (Physcia dubia, Physcia crispa, Physcia integrata, Physcia sorediosa, Physcia jackii, Chrysothrix candelaris, Chrysothrix chlorina, Parmotrema andinum, Parmotrema mesotropum, Phaeophyscia hispidula, Lecanora chlarotera and Caloplaca spp. of lichens were identified after morphological and anatomical investigation. Out of these, eight species are being reported for the first time from the study area. The species diversity of these twelve species was analyzed. It was found that the highest α-diversity is ten whereas lowest α-diversity is seven. Physcia dubia is the most common out of 12 species and was found at three localities. All the taxa have been deposited in CPUH (The Herbarium, Department of Bio-sciences, Career Point University, Hamirpur).
