Abstract
A total number of 36 epiphytic lichen species was identified growing on eleven phorophyte species in the coastal shrub-land of SE Cuba. Sixteen species are new records from Cuba. Pyrenula ochraceoflavens was the most frequent species and Plumeria stenophylla was the phorophyte containing the highest lichen richness (13 species). Mostly species are crustose, whereas nine are foliose but developed small thalli, and only one was fruticose (Ramalina complanata). Despite of the xeric climate, we found a high number of lichens with Trentepohlia as photobiont, a tropical alga common in absence of low temperatures and large thermal oscillations.Downloads
