Contribution to the Knowledge of the Lichen Mycota of Myanmar (I) Twenty Species Newly Recorded from Southern Myanmar

Specimens of lichens collected from southern Myanmar including Tanintharyi and Yangon Regions were examined. As the result of taxonomic examinations, the following 20 species were identified: Astrothelium macrocarpum, Bulbothrix subscortea, Coccocarpia erythroxyli, C. palmicola, Cruentotrema thailan...
