COMPLETED PROJECT:

1. Revisionary studies on the family Graphidaceae (Lichenized Fungi) of Eastern Himalaya-India (2007-2012): This work resulted in the discovery of one species new to science, 13 species new to India, and 40 species new to Eastern Himalayan region, with eight new combinations made in the family Graphidaceae. A total of 1544 lichen specimens were also collected from the North-Eastern states of India during this study period and housed in BSA.
