Abstract

Ninety-two specimens (of 26 species belonging to four genera) of the Graphidaceae were collected from various areas in Japan. Their phycobionts were isolated and studied taxonomically. The phycobionts were all identical and identified as Trentepohlia lagenifera, an alga that is widely distributed in Japan. It occurs freeliving on bark and stones under humid conditions. This alga forms zoosporangia abundantly in the field and in culture but not in the lichenized state.
