Abstract

Fieldwork in The Garden of the Institute for Nature Study, Shiroganedai, Tokyo was carried out on May 18 1999. A total of 21 lichen species were collected, including one foliose species (Physciella melanchra) and 20 crustose species. This indicates a rich lichen flora, in spite of the garden being located in western Tokyo. The majority of the Institute for Nature Study is covered by oldgrowth, evergreen deciduous forest. Bacidina chloroticula is reported as new to Japan. Six species are undetermined and denoted only to genus. Short morphological descriptions based on the collected material are provided, as well as notes on distribution, habitat and other characteristics
