Abstract: The Western Ghats has maximum number of crustose lichens represented by 618 taxa
followed by foliose and fruticose with 269 and 62 species respectively. The Nilgiri Biosphere
area of Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu has been better explored for lichens while other localities
remain under explored. Hence, among different states Tamil Nadu has the highest number of
lichens with 657 taxa followed by Karnataka, Kerala and Maharashtra with 336, 288 and 91 taxa
respectively. The lichens recorded from Goa are included under Maharashtra as they are few in
number, while no records from Gujarat are available. In case of Tamil Nadu most of the lichens
are from Nilgiri and Palni Hills. The article enumerates the occurrence of 949 taxa of lichens in
Western Ghats with high percentage of endemism (26.7%), which is highest for any
Lichenogeographic regions in India. Graphidaceous, Parmelioid, Physcioid, Pyrenocarpous and
Thelotremataceous lichens dominate the region. This article also discusses the history of
lichenological investigation in Western Ghats, economic importance of lichens of the region and
their conservation problems.
Introduction
The symbiotic association between an alga and a fungus has resulted in a new life form called
lichen. It is present in a wide range of habitats throughout the world and dominates terrestrial
ecosystems (about 8%). 20,000 species of lichens have been reported globally. The Indian
subcontinent has 2,450 species of lichens, of which India alone has about 2040 species (Awasthi,
2000).
Western Ghats (here after referred as WGs) is one of the world's biodiversity hotspots, which
stretches from Tapti valley in the north of Gujarat to Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, covering a
distance of 1600 km with over 100 km wide. The WGs runs through different states of south-
western India such as Gujarat, Maharashtra, Goa, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Kerala and covers
various types of vegetation including evergreen, tropical deciduous, scrub, montane, subtropical
temperate forests and grasslands. The diversity of higher plant flora and fauna has been studied
in great detail since European colonization in India. Although there has been substantial research
in terms of medicinal and ecosystem values, the lower plants such as lichens, bryophytes,
pteridophytes, algae and fungi have not received desired attention.
Lichenological investigations in India and Western Ghats: History
Lichens of India are being studied since 1753 AD. Linnaeus mentioned the occurrence of Lichen
fuciformis (L.) DC. ( Rocella montagnei Bél.) from India, in his masterpiece ‘Species Plantarum'.
Eric Acharius (1810, 1814) the father of Lichenology describes lichens in his classical works
‘Lichenographia Universalis' and ‘Synopsis Methodica Lichenum'. There after the Indian lichens
have been described by various lichenologists.
Bélanger (1838) was the first person to study the lichens of WGs, who described a total of 40
taxa from Pondicherry and Coromandel Coast of which six were new to science. Montagne
(1842), Stirton (1876, 1879), Hue (1898, 1899, 1900a,b, 1901), Jatta (1902, 1905, 1911), Smith
(1926), Choisy (1931), Santesson (1952), Moreau and Moreau (1952) were the important
European lichenologists who studied lichens of WGs. Awasthi (1965) and Singh (1964) have
compiled lichens described by various researchers till 1960s including that of WGs.
Quraishi (1928) and Chopra (1934) were the pioneer lichenologists in India who studied the
Himalayan lichens. Dr. D.D. Awasthi, ‘Father of Indian Lichenology', started the study of
lichens in a systematic way. His work on lichens of WGs was first published in 1957 (Awasthi,
1957), which reported new species, like Parmelia (Hypogymnia) pseudobitteriana (from
Kodaikanal). The school of lichenology at Lucknow University contributed a lot to the lichens of
Nilgiri and Palni Hills (Singh 1984). The lichenological investigation in WGs was strengthened
during 1960's with the setting up of the school of lichenology at Agarkar Research Institute
(‘Maharashtra Association for Cultivation of Science'), Pune. Lichenology laboratory of National
Botanical Research Institute, Lucknow and Botanical Survey of India have compiled vast
information on the lichens of WGs. Singh (1980) consolidated the lichenological investigation
between 1966-1977. Upreti (1992, 1995, 1997) and Upreti and Nayaka (2000, 2003) updated the
developments in Indian lichenology.
Status of lichen diversity in WGs
Catalogue of the lichens from India, Nepal, Pakistan and Ceylon (Awasthi, 1965) lists around
250 taxa of WGs lichens. 225 taxa were added to the lichens of WGs during 1966-1977 (Singh,
1980). Patwardhan (1983), and Singh and Sinha (1997) estimation, shows 800 lichen species in
WGs. Kumar and Stephen (1997a) in their attempt to consolidate information have listed 315
and 771 lichen taxa (Kumar and Stephen 1999), mainly based on macro and microlichen keys of
Awasthi (1988,1991).
The present communication attempts to update the list of lichens for WGs. The nomenclature
changes are incorporated by following Egan (1987) and CABI Bioscience Database
(http://www.indexfungorum.org/index.htm). There are 949 lichen taxa in WGs belonging to 929
species, 20 varieties, 150 genera and 54 families, which is around 45% of the total lichens in
India, the highest for any lichenogeographical region in the country. The crustose lichen
dominates in WGs represented by 618 taxa followed by foliose lichens and fruticose lichens,
which are represented by 269 and 62 taxa respectively. Out of the 949 lichen taxa the occurrence
of 10 are doubtful in WGs. The highest number of endemic lichens (253 species (26.7%)) is
present; of which 210 are found only in WGs while remaining 43 occur in other
lichenogeographical regions of India (Table 4).
Parmeliaceae with 137 species belonging to 22 genera is the dominant family in the WGs while
Graphis is the dominant genus with 49 species. 10 dominant lichen families and 16 dominant
genera are listed in Tables 1 and 2 respectively. Perithecia bearing lichens (Pyrenocarpous)
mostly with crustose thallus (needs a more or less smooth and soft surface) exhibit their
luxuriance in the WGs represented by 177 taxa, belonging to lichen families Arthopyreniaceae,
Astrotheliaceae, Pyrenulaceae, Strigulaceae, Trichotheliaceae, Trypetheliaceae, Verrucariaceae.
The Pamelioid, Graphidaceous, Physcioid and Thelotremataceous lichens with 137, 103, 90 and
72 species respectively also dominates the area.
Except for numerical and some nomenclature changes, the status of lichen diversity recorded in
the present study from WGs (Table 3) is similar to the earlier reports (Singh and Sinha, 1997).
The lichens in most parts of WGs are tropical in nature, while the higher altitudes of Nilgiri,
Palni Hills and Kodaikanal support the growth of temperate lichens.
Economic importance of lichens
The lichens have been household items of Indians since ancient times as medicines and in
various cultural events (Kumar and Upreti, 2001). ‘Shipal' in Atharveda (1500 B.C) is the first
record of lichen used as medicine. The vernacular name ‘Charila' is widely used in Ayurveda, an
ancient system of medicine in India. The Sanskrit synonyms of lichens are ‘Shailaya' and ‘Shila
Pushp' (Shila = rock, Pushp = flower). Lichens are used in the preparation of an indigenous
perfume named ‘Otto' (the Hina Attar) at Kannauj, a town of Uttar Pradesh, which has been
famous for the past 800 years for its perfume production. The common condiments used in food
dishes called ‘Gharm Masala', ‘Meat Masala', ‘Sambar Masala' also contains lichen powder or
whole plants as a major ingredient. The lichens have around 700 secondary metabolites, of which
550 are unique Most of these secondary metabolites have antibiotic properties and the much-
exploited one is the usnic acid. Among the 949 lichen taxa of WGs, a total of 23 species that
have well documented ethnic or commercial utilization are marked in Table 4 (Upreti et al.,
2005). The lichens are sensitive to air pollution and microclimatic changes. Hence, widely
considered as bioindicators and constitute an important component of biodiversity in a region.
Conservation of WGs lichens
The factors responsible for loss of lichen diversity in India (Upreti, 1995) include the change in
the ecological conditions, forest cover, loss of habitat and increase of the urban and industrial
areas. The anthropogenic activities in hilly regions such as ‘Jhoom' cultivation, agriculture,
mineral extraction, tourism, hydroelectric and road building projects are leading to the rapid
deterioration of lichen rich habitats. Over exploitation and selective removal of economically
important lichens by local people pose serious threat to the lichens in India. Collected from the
temperate regions of the Himalayas lichens are used indigenously and also exported. The
Himachal Pradesh and Uttaranchal hills are the main areas of lichen collection in India. Few
ethnic groups in the central Indian region of Madhya Pradesh and in certain localities of WGs
also collect these plants. In the last five decades lichens of India has considerably declined in
diversity and abundance. The raw material required for the various uses of lichens is quite high.
The lichens weigh very little when dry, thus a vast bulk of these plants is required. 320 tons of
lichens are annually utilized for different purpose in Nepal and adjoining regions of India
(Moxham, 1986). Approximately 750 metric tons of lichens are brought in annually from the
Uttaranchal hill and 800 metric tons from other regions of India, including Himachal Pradesh,
Sikkim and Assam; of this about 50-80 metric tons are exported (Shah, 1997). The study of
lichen samples available in local markets of Maharashtra, Karnataka and Tamil Nadu yielded 11
species of lichens (Upreti et al., 2005). Quantitative studies have not been carried out in WGs to
assess the amount of lichen collected, utilized, exported and its effect on particular lichen species
or whole lichen diversity of the region.
Scope for lichenological investigation in WGs
Despite numerous studies in WGs, there still remain a number of interesting protected areas and
special habitats such as Kudremukh National Park in Karnataka, Sanctuaries in Goa, forests of
Gujarat, mangrove vegetation in the west coast to be explored for lichen. So far most of the
survey and collection have been made from Nilgiri and Palni Hills. The mangrove vegetation has
richer folicolous lichens and up to date only 39 species of them are recorded from WGs. The
lichenological data from Nilgiri and Palni Hills is outdated and reassessment of lichen diversity
in the area should be carried out. Some of the lichen species such as Bulbothrix bulbochaeta
(Hale) Hale, Hypotrachyna dodapetta Hale and Patw, Parmotrema chinense (Osbeck) Hale and
Ahti, P. disparile (Nyl.) Hale, P. erhizinosum (Awasthi) Awasthi, P. kamatii Patw. and Prabhu,
P. xanthinum (Müll. Arg.) Hale, and Rimelia cetrata (Ach.) An addition of minimum 200 species
can be expected if thorough exploration of lichens is carried out in the WGs. Bioprospecting
lichen wealth is another interesting aspect to be attempted in the WGs. The scarcity of trained
personnel for lichenology in India has lead to insufficient or non-exploration of many important
and interesting localities in the country. It has become a necessity to create awareness among the
students, common people, forest officials and authorities regarding the importance of lichens and
the actions to be taken to conserve their diversity now.

... (1892) reported lichens from Manipur. Jatta (1902,1905,1911) 9 . Identification keys of 1850 species of lichens comprising 700 macrolichens and 1150 microlichens that belonged to foliose to fruticose forms and crustose to squamulose forms were prepared during 1988 and 1991 respectively 10,11 . ...
... Rather extensive accounts on the lichens of Himalayas as well as those of tropical, temperate and alpine regions of India were documented 12 . Except Nilgiris hills in the Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu, most of the other places are under explored for lichens 9 . ...
... The mid altitude range 1400-1600 m had the greatest lichen diversity, which showed a unimodal pattern in relation to altitude 13 . Nayaka et al. 9 have studied the status of lichen diversity in Western Ghats as well. Abeet al. 14 identified new species of lichens in Yercaud hills of Eastern Ghats, Tamil Nadu. ...

The objective of the present study highlights the diversity distribution of lichen species and effect of climatic factors on species diversity in Kodaikanal hills belong to Western Ghats of Tamil Nadu. Thin layer chromatography and microcrystal test were identification of lichen species. The Kodaikanal hills has good number of lichens represented by foliose 66.67%, followed by fruticose and crustose 23.80% and 4.76% respectively. The Park view area of Kodaikanal hills of Western Ghats in Tamil Na has the highest number of lichens with 65% followed by Guna cave 15%. The lichens recorded from Madhiketancholai and Berijem lake showed very few species. The article enumerates the occurrence of 21 lichen species in Kodaikanal hills of Western Ghats in Tamil Nadu. Form diversity distribution showed that majority of them are corticolous (76%), followed by saxicolous (14%), muscicolous (5%) and both corticolous and terricolous showed 5% diversity. Parmeliaceae (57%) and Physciaceae (9%) families dominated the region. The article also discusses the detailed information with reference to diversity, distribution and ecology of 21 species from different regions of Kodaikanal hills in Western Ghats. The influence of sunshine, rainfall, temperature, relative humidity, evaporation rate and wind speed on lichen diversity was investigated by historical data using response surface methodology and concluded that sunshine played crucial role.
... In the Physciaceae family, Heterodermia sp., Buellia punctata, and Dirinaria sp. were notable genera. Research conducted by [7] found that the Western Ghats of Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu, India were predominantly populated by members of the Parmeliaceae lichen family. The present results are not in correlation with the findings of [8] who concluded that Physciaceae was dominant in Maruthamalai hills. ...

Abstract: An investigation into the lichen population was carried out in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu's Sanjeevani Hills. The study determined that the most prevalent families were Physciaceae and Parmeliaceae, focusing on four distinct locations in the hills. About a quarter of the total number of lichens were found at an elevation of 1300 m MSL on the 18th hairpin loop. This specific elevation above sea level was preferred by fructicose lichens, like Ramalina sp. Substrate specificity analysis revealed that 80% of the lichens were corticolous, 10% were saxicolous, and 5% were muscicolous. The present study is a preliminary investigation and a future reference for other researchers.
... Many lichens have been used in Chinese and Indian traditional practices, due to their cytotoxic, antibacterial, antidiabetic and anti-inflammatory potential [7,8]. The Indian subcontinent harbors a rich diversity of lichens with more than 2450 species, especially in Himalayan and Western Ghats regions [9], and it has been estimated that it covers around 45% of the total lichen diversity of the country [10], though the pharmacological importance of the lichens residing in this region remains neglected. ...

The Western Ghats, India, is a hotspot for lichen diversity. However, the pharmacological importance of lichen-associated metabolites remains untapped. This study aimed to evaluate the cytotoxic potential of lichens of this region. For this, sixteen macrolichens were collected and identified from two locations in the Western Ghats. The acetone extract of Usnea cornuta (UC2A) showed significant cytotoxicity towards multiple human cancer cell lines. Interestingly, co-treatment with chloroquine (CQ), an autophagy inhibitor, increased the cytotoxic potential of the UC2A extract. A gas chromatography mass spectrometry (GCMS) study revealed usnic acid (UA), atraric acid and barbatic acid as the dominant cytotoxic compounds in the UC2A extract. Further, UA was purified and identified from the UC2A extract and evaluated for cytotoxicity in HeLa cells. The monodansyl cadaverine and mitotracker red double staining revealed the autophagy-inducing activities of UA, and the inhibition of autophagy was confirmed via CQ treatment. Autophagy inhibition increased the cytotoxicity of UA by 12–16% in a concentration-dependent manner. It also increased lipid peroxidation, ROS levels and mitochondrial depolarization and decreased glutathione availability. A decrease in zeta potential and a 40% increase in caspase 3/7 activity were also noted after CQ treatment of UA-treated cells. Thus, cytotoxicity of UA can be increased by inhibiting autophagy.
... He prepared a key for the common species occurring in India. Nayaka and Upreti (2005) enumerated the occurrence of 949 taxa of lichens from the Western Ghats with a high percentage of endemism (26.7%), which is highest for any lichenographic regions of India. In India, the corticolous (growing on bark) exhibit their dominance followed by terricolous (soil-inhabiting) and saxicolous (rock-inhabiting) lichens. ...

Lichens are symbiotic plant-like organisms composed of a fungal partner (mycobiont) and one or more photosynthetic partners (photobiont). The fungal partner may belong to Ascomycetes, Basidiomycetes, or rarely Deuteromycetes, and the photobiont is often green alga or cyanobacterium. They are classified based on the fungal component along with the fungal system. The Western Ghats in India are rich in biological diversity and vital to their endemism. More than 325 globally threatened plant and animal species are found in the region. Situated along the southwest corner of India, bordered by the Lakshadweep Sea, the State of Kerala, with an area of 38,863 km2 is considered one of India’s peaceful and cleanest states. The varied topographical features, high rainfall, and geologic conditions have favored different ecosystems, from shola forests on the mountain valleys to the mangrove forests along sea coasts and estuaries.Globally 20,000 species of lichens are known. While in India, it is 2907 species representing 14.8% of the world’s flora. These are distributed under 406 genera and 79 families. Unfortunately, only fragmentary work has been done to characterize Lichens in the Western Ghats of Kerala state. Presently, the Western Ghats of Kerala account for over 800 species of lichens. This chapter discusses lichen diversity in the Kerala part of the Western Ghats, the history of lichenological investigation, the medicinal and economic importance of lichens in the region, and their conservation problems.KeywordsBiodiversityKeralaLichenized fungiWestern Ghats

Mycocaliciales comprise non-lichenized either saprotrophic or lichenicolous fungi which occur in temperate and tropical regions. The mazaediate, saprotrophic and monospecific genus, Pyrgidium, is currently assigned to this order, yet the phylogenetic placement of the genus has remained uncertain due to the absence of molecular data. In order to investigate the systematic position of Pyrgidium, two specimens collected in Brazil and Thailand, respectively, were used to generate mtSSU, SSU, LSU and ITS sequences. However, given that most other representatives of this order only have LSU and ITS sequences available, the phylogenetic reconstruction was limited to these two markers. The phylogenetic analyses confirmed placement of the genus within Mycocaliciales, the genus possessing a sister group relationship with the lichenicolous genus Sphinctrina. Detailed morphological descriptions and illustrations are provided, including those for type specimens of the various synonyms subsumed under the hitherto only accepted species, Pyrgidium montellicum (Beltr.) Tibell. The ascospore morphology was investigated using compound and scanning electronic microscopy (SEM). Principal component analysis (PCA) was performed for the ascospore size using PC-ORD 7. The molecular data and re-examination of the type specimens support the monospecific nature of this genus.
... A total of 84 species of lichens were found in the present study (Table 1) which belong to 38 genera and 18 families. The family Graphidaceae was found to be most dominant represented by 20 species followed by Arthoniaceaere presented by 10 numbers of species (Figure 3), which is similar to studies conducted in Western Ghats of India (Nayaka & Upreti, 2005), Peru (Plata & Lücking, 2013) and amazon rain forest of Brazil (Caceres et al., 2014). Based on genera, Graphis is found to be the most dominant followed by Pertusaria represented by 11 and 7 numbers of species respectively similar to the studies in northern Assam (Rout et al., 2010) and Mexico (Córdova-Chávez et al., 2014). ...

Lichens are organized symbionts that have their importance due to a potential indicator of the forest ecosystem. The lichen diversity of Odisha is not well explored as compared to the other phytogeographical region of India. Though the earlier study reported the occurrence of 252 lichen species from different parts of the state, it was limited to the northeast part of the Similipal Biosphere Reserve (SBR). The objective of the present study was to survey some unexplored areas of SBR, which revealed the occurrence of 84 species of lichens belonging to 38 families and 18 genera. Most of the lichens were found growing as phorophytes on the matured bark of the trees. The western part of the SBR is rich in lichen diversity as compared to the eastern part. Species frequency was found to be highest in the southwest part of the SBR, while the density and abundance were more or less similar within all the study sites. The correlation between frequency and density was found to be significant and insignificant between frequency and abundance.
