S.M.Alverdiyeva
Abstract
As a result of generalization of all lichenological data on the Lesser Caucasus within Azerbaijan, the lichens composition of 581 species, 159 genera, 55 families and 21 orders was determined. The main volume of species diversity is accounted for by 13 orders; the leading order is the order Lecanorales which includes 228 species. In the family spectrum, 15 families represented by 472 species, and in the generic spectrum, 15 genera including 256 species are dominant according to the number of species. The basis of lichen flora is composed of polymorphic families and genera typical of lichen flora of moderate Holarctic. 12 species: Aspicilia candida (Anzi) Hue, Baeomycesrufus (Huds.) Rebent.,Cladoniafarinacea (Vain.) A. Evans, C. mitisSandst., Enchyliumligerinum(Hy) Otálora, Jørgensen et Wedin, Lecideaconfluens (Weber ) Ach., Ochrolechiafrigida (Sw.) Lynge, ParmeliafraudansNyl., Physconiaperisidiosa (Erichsen) Moberg, RinodinaboleanaGiralt., Tuckermanopsischlorophylla (Willd.) Hale, Umbilicariaproboscidea(L.) Schrad.are new for lichen flora of Azerbaijan.
