Abstract:

Ramalina species are among the most abundant lichens on the Galapagos Isles. A total of fifteen species have been distinguished, four of which are described as new here: Ramalina darwiniana, R. fragilis, R. furcellangulida and R. polyforma. These new species are considered to be endemic to the Galapagos whereas previous reports refer to relatively common, more widely distributed species. Several other species are reported here for the first time from the Galapagos.
