Introduction
About 800 lichen species have been reported from
Turkey. Some of these studies were conducted in the
provinces of Bilecik (1), Eskişehir (2) and Ilıca (Kütahya)
(3). There have also been some new records in recent
years (4,5). In other recent studies, complete lists of
lichen species have been compiled from previous research
(6 - 8). However, lichen flora research has not covered
many regions of Turkey. This study provides three new
records for the lichen flora of Turkey.
The identification of the lichen species was performed
according to related lichen flora literature (9-12). These
specimens are stored at the herbarium of the Arts and
Science Faculty of the University of Uludağ, Bursa.
