Abstract

---

There is a vast diversity of lichens in forests of Pakistan due to rich vegetation and suitable environmental conditions for their growth. During exploration of lichens of Hunza valley in Gilgit Baltistan, we found four species viz., Punctelia subrudecta, Punctelia borreri, Peltigera elisabethae and Xanthoria sogdiana, which are new records for Pakistan. Their molecular characterization is based on internal transcribed region of nuclear ribosome. Complete morphological descriptions along with phylogenetic analyses are also discussed in this work.
