Two species of the lichen genus Dirinaria (Tuck.) Clem. are recognized in the South Korean lichen mycota, viz: D. applanata and D. picta. Descriptions of each species with their morphological, anatomical, and chemical characteristics together with molecular analysis and a key to known Dirinaria species are presented. D. picta is recorded from South Korea for the first time.

Heterodermia squamulosa (Degel.) W.L. Culb. was found in the mountain of Gariwang, Gangwon province, in 2008. It is characterized by numerous squamules along the margin, decorticate and white lower surface, rhizines along the margin, black and densely squarrosely branched, usually forming a dense mat under the thallus. Apothecia margins densely squamulose, ascospores $12\sim15\times25\sim30{\mu}m$. Atranorin and zeorin contained in thallus. This is the first record of this species in South Korea.

This study reports, for the first time, the ivestigation of the distribution of Korean saxicolous lichens in the coastal rocks of U-do islet, which is known as an unpolluted zone in Jeju. More than thirty lichens were obtained and investigated from the coastal rocks frequently contacted by seawater. A molecular analysis using PCR amplification of the rRNA ITS regions revealed the coastal rock lichens could be placed into 8 families and 14 genera, Ramalinaceae (Bacidia, Ramalina), Physciaceae (Buellia, Dirinaria, Phaeophyscia, Physcia, Pyxine), Lecanoraceae (Candelaria, Lecanora), Parmeliaceae (Xan­thopannelia), Graphidaceae (Graphis), Pertusariaceae (Pertusaria), Rhizocarpaceae (Rhizocarpon), and Teloschistaceae (Caloplaca), showing a diversity of lichens, with foliose (flat leaf-like), crustose (crust­like), and fruticose (miniature shrub-like) life forms might be distributed in the coastal rocks. These findings suggested the possibility that the lichens identified in the present work might be resistant to a salty environment.

Author have studies lichen flora of the most important ice-free areas of Continental Antarctic: Bunger Hills, and the vicinity of Prudz Bay (Larsemann Hills, and Radok Lake in Prince Charles Mountains). Totally 44 lichen species from 22 genera were reported for Bunger Hills and 50 lichen species from 22 genera and 10 families: Acarosporaceae, Lecanoraceae, Lecideaceae, Parmeliaceae, Pertusariaceae, Physciaceae, Rhizocarpaceae, Stereocaulaceae, Theloschistaceae, and Umbilicariaceaewere reported for the Prudz Bay Region. 20 lichen species were found in the region for the first time. Phytogeographic analysis indicated a relatively high proportion of species with bipolar distribution - about 50% of recorded lichen species. About 30% of lichens normally don't extend into maritime zone occurring in continental Antarctic only. The most common lichen families in the region are Buelliaceae, Lecanoraceae and Teloschistaceae. The water supply and not a temperature is the critical factor for lichens in the Continental Antarctic. Moisture appears to be supplied for lichens not only from snow-melt water but mainly from air. In Maritime Antarctic, due to high air humidity macrolichens form communities everywhere (Himantormia, Usnea and Umbilicaria). In oases of Continental Antarctic extensive sites are lacking in lichen cover, even if the ground is normally snow free. Lichens occur at humid sites with moisture which were brought by winds over the ice cap and poorly developed or absent in dry areas. Of particular significance for lichens are substrate characteristics, animals influence and salinity brought by wind in coastal areas. Most rich lichen vegetation developed in oases around nests of snow petrels, where the melt water is enriched by nutrients. In contrast, the most pure vegetation is on mobile sand and gravel and in salted coastal habitats.

본 연구는 환경조건에 따른 지의류분포에 대한 기초 자료를 얻고자 수시로 해수와 접하는 지역의 해안가 암석과 해안에서 약 20 m 이상 떨어진 곳에 위치한 노지암석에서 살아가는 지의류를 대상으로 처음 수행되었다. rDNA ITS clone 유전자의 염기서열 및 형태학적 분석을 기초로 하여 비교 분석한 결과 해수와 직법 접하는 곳에 위치한 암석에서는 9과(family) 15 속(genus)에 속하는 지의류가 분포되어 있었고, 노지암석에서는 10과 14 속에 속하는 지의류가 분포되어 그 다양성에 있어 큰 차이가 없었다. Parmeliaceae 과에 포함된 것 중 엽상형(foliose)인 Phaeophyscia, physcia, Pyxine와 Parmeliaceae과에 속하는 Xanthoparmelia가 해안가 암석에 분포하는 대표적인 지의류로 나타났고, 수지상(fruticose) 지의류로는 Ramalinaceae과에 속하는 Ramalina 속 2종이 유일하게 분포하고 있음이 밝혀졌다. 가상형 (crustose) 지의류는 Lecanora속이 대표적인 해안가 암석에 분포하는 지의류로 나타났다. 반면, 노지암석위의 흙이나 이끼 낀 곳에서 발견되었으나 해안가 암석에서 발견되지 않은 지의류로는 엽상형인 Cladonia, 수지상 지의류인 Sterocaulon, 가상형 지의류인 Porpidia로 조사되었다. 가상형(crustose) 지의류인 Caloplaca, Candelaria, Dirinaria, Graphis, Rhizocarpon, Pertusaria 등이 해안가 암석에 분포하고 있음이 확인되었으나 매우 드물게 나타났으며 이들 지의류 모두는 해안가에서 비교적 멀리 떨어진 노지암석에서 대부분 분포하고 있음이 밝혀졌다.
