Abstract

In this paper is presented the diversity of lichens that develop on the native and introduced trees of the avenues and green areas from the urban and suburban zones of Morelia. 49 species distributed in 26 genera and 10 families were listed. From these, 39 were reported for the first time in Morelia including 27 new reports from Michoacan state and one from Mexico (Hyperphyscia isidiata). Physciaceae and Parmeliaceae families were the best represented with 71% of the recorded species. The 69.39% have foliose tallus and 30.61% crustose tallus; while fruticose lichens were absent in the area.
