The highest number <strong>of</strong> new species in family Graphidaceae in <strong>Sri</strong><br />
<strong>Lanka</strong> are described from this genus. Out <strong>of</strong> the 380 species known to<br />
date in the world, over 100 species have been recorded from part <strong>of</strong><br />
the central highlands and a few locations in the wet zone <strong>of</strong> <strong>Sri</strong> <strong>Lanka</strong>.<br />
Therefore, the total diversity <strong>of</strong> this genus is expected to be higher in<br />
<strong>Sri</strong> <strong>Lanka</strong>. This is the most speciose lichen genus in <strong>Sri</strong> <strong>Lanka</strong>.<br />
