TAILIEUCHUNG - Floristic lichen records from Kemaliye District (Erzincan) and Van Province

Numerous lichen specimens from 32 locations in Kemaliye District of Erzincan Province and 4 locations in Van Province were examined. In total 144 lichens, including 5 varieties, 2 subspecies and 4 forms, in 47 genera were identified. Acarospora lavicola , Adelolecia kolaensis (Nyl.) Hertel & Rambold, and Arthonia apotheciorum (A.

In total 144 lichens, including 5 varieties, 2 subspecies and 4 forms, in 47 genera were identified. Acarospora lavicola , Adelolecia kolaensis (Nyl.) Hertel & Rambold, and Arthonia apotheciorum (A. Massal.) Almq. were found to be new for Turkey. All identified taxa, excluding the ones mentioned above, are new for Kemaliye and 101 taxa are new for Erzincan Province. Key words: Flora, Kemaliye, lichen, new records, taxonomy, Van Introduction The lichen biodiversity of Turkey is far from being completely investigated and Kemaliye District is no exception. Some floristic lichen records from the area, covering a part of Erzincan Province and Kemaliye were reported (Yazıcı & Aslan, 2003; Karagöz et al., 2011). Lichen records from other close regions were provided by various authors (Aslan, 2000; Aslan et al., 2002, 2005; Yazıcı et al., 2004, 2005, 2008, 2010a, 2010b; Yazıcı & Aslan, 2006; Candan & Turk, 2008), but no lichenised fungi have thus far been reported for Kemaliye. However, there are some recent studies on epiphytic and lichenicolous lichens in Turkey (Candan & Halıcı, 2011; Oran & Öztürk, 2012). Kemaliye District is situated at the latitudes 39°2ʹ39°20ʹN and the longitudes 38°23ʹ-38°45ʹE, in the B7 grid square (Davis et al., 1965), and it has interesting * E-mail: ykaragoz@ 558 geographic and climatic properties.
