Chemical and Botanical Guide to Lichen Products

This book comes at a moment of renewed research activity in all aspects of the chemistry, systematics, and physiology of the lichens. It contains a chemical summary of all the lichen substances, a botanical index to the occurrence of these compounds in all taxa from which they have been reported, and a discussion of the biogenetic and structural relationships of the compounds produced by the symbiotic lichen-forming fungi.
