Glaucomaria rupicola: A new lichen record from Gilgit Baltistan (Pakistan), its DNA barcoding, morphology, ecology and distribution

Abstract

During an examination of lichen specimens in the Darel Valley, one new record of genus Glaucomaria was identified for the lichen flora of Pakistan. Glaucomaria rupicola (L.) P.F. Cannon has been collected from Gilgit Baltistan. Diagnostic characters of the species, distribution, ecology and phylogenetic analyses are given. Here, it has been reported first time on ITS-based phylogeny. It is a new record for Gilgit Baltistan, Pakistan
