AbstractLeprocaulon calcicola is described as new from walls in SE England; it is leprose, pale to mid blue-grey, and contains zeorin and usnic acid. It differs from L. knudsenii from North America in its habitat on mortared walls rather than non-calcareous rock and in its ITS sequence. ‘Lecanora’ ecorticata differs in the yellower colour, and the presence of unidentified fatty acids and traces of unknown terpenoids (but not zeorin) by thin-layer chromatography. Leprose lichens with usnic acid are still poorly known and sequencing must be used to support morphological and chemical studies.

Six lichen species belonging to the family Graphidaceae namely Graphis malacodes Nyl., Graphis proserpens Vain., Hemithecium aphaneomicrosporum Makhija & Adawadkar, Hemithecium lamii (Redgr.) V. Tewari & Upreti, Pallidogramme chlorocarpoides (Nyl.) Staiger & al. and Phaeographis divaricoides Räsänen are described as new additions to the lichen flora of Western Ghats. Chemical studies were carried out by thin layer chromatography using Merk F254 precoated silica gel aluminium plates and B.D.A. solvent systems.

In the present study, the new biological sources in the form of lichen Usnea orientalis Motyka was screened for its antidermatophytic potential. Six species of dermatophytes were chosen on the basis of their prevalence for antidermatophytic assays, and the Clinical Laboratory Standard Institute (CLSI)-recommended broth microdilution procedure was used to detect the efficacy of extract against dermatophytes. Thin layer chromatography of lichen extracts reveals the presence of two secondary metabolites viz. salazinic acid and usnic acid. U. orientalis extract exhibited promising antidermatophytic activity against all tested pathogens. Amongst all tested pathogens, E. floccosum exhibited most susceptibility towards extract, whereas T. mentagrophytes exhibited the least susceptibility. Topical application of U. orientalis extract might be helpful in the cure of dermal infections.
