Treatment

Diagnostic characters: —The Indian specimens are sterile, but can be readily identified by their greenish-gray, pseudocyphellate and sorediate upper surface, laminal, orbicular soralia, and the presence of usnic and lecanoric acids.

Distribution and Ecology: —Pantropical, recorded from Mexico, Peru ( Kurokawa 1999), and China ( Thell et al. 2005). In India it was previously thought to be restricted to the Western Himalaya ( Divakar & Upreti 2005).

Remarks: — Flavopunctelia flaventior (Stirton) Hale (1984: 682) , a similar species, differs in having marginal, linear soralia.

Specimen examined:— INDIA. Uttarakhand: Almora district, Syahi Devi forest , alt. ca. 1900 m, on Rhododendron tree, 04 October 2013, Y . Joshi et al. 199 ( ALM) .
