About
Fissurina indica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Described in 2012 from specimens collected in India's Western Ghats, this lichen forms pale green to brownish crusts on tree bark in humid evergreen forests. It produces small, slit-like fruiting structures that lack the black carbonised walls typical of many related species, and its ascospores are divided into multiple brick-like compartments. The species has since been found in Assam, suggesting a wider distribution across India's moist hill forests than originally known.
