About
Fissurina nicobarensis is a rare species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Described in 2012 from a specimen collected on Great Nicobar Island, this lichen forms yellowish-brown, glossy crusts on tree bark in humid lowland rainforest. It produces numerous branched, slit-like fruiting structures and spores divided into brick-like compartments, and is known only from its original discovery location in the southern Nicobar Islands.
