Dirina indica

Dirina indica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Roccellaceae.

The type specimen was collected from Pirotan Island in the Marine National Park (Arabian Sea).

[2] Dirina indica has a flat to slightly bumpy surface that is creamy white or whitish green in color and not covered in any powdery residue (pruina).

The ascomata, which are the fruiting bodies of the lichen, are circular, sessile, and have a diameter of up to 0.5 mm.

The lichen has a chalky medulla with loose hyphae near the substrate, and a cortex that is 20–30 μm thick.
