About
Fissurina simplex is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Graphidaceae. Described in 2012 from specimens collected in Kerala's Silent Valley National Park, this lichen forms brown, glossy crusts on tree bark in humid evergreen and deciduous forests of the Western Ghats. It is distinguished by its variable ascospore number, large spores divided into brick-like compartments, and the presence of stictic acid compounds in its tissues.
