The lichen species Bilimbia sabuletorum (Schreb.) Arnold, Canoparmelia crozalsiana (B. de Lesd. ex Harm.) Elix & Haleand Candelaria pacifica M. Westb. & Arup are reported for the first time from Iran; Involved are new reports of two genera for Iran, Bilimbia and Canoparmelia. The species grow as epiphyte in broad-leaved forests in Golestan Province. Characteristics of morphology, habitat and geographic distribution of these species are discussed.

Abstract [Persian]

گونه‌های گلسنگ Bilimbia sabuletorum (Schreb.) Arnold، Canoparmelia crozalsiana (B. de Lesd. ex Harm.) Elix & Hale و Candelaria pacifica M. Westb. & Arup برای اولین بار از ایران گزارش می‌شوند، که از میان آنها جنس‌های Bilimbia و Canoparmelia برای ایران جدید هستند. این گونه‌ها به فرم اپی‌فیت در جنگل‌های پهن برگ استان گلستان رویش دارند. ویژگی‌های ریخت‌شناسی، رویشگاه و پراکنش جغرافیایی گیاهی این گونه‌ها مورد بحث قرار گرفته است.
