ABSTRACT
A systematic survey of lichens was performed in 2019 in four of the five territories
constituting the French Scattered Islands (Europa Island, Juan de Nova, Glorioso
Islands, and Tromelin) focusing on the genus Ramalina. Species were characterized using
morphological (macroscopic and microscopic) features and an accurate chemical profiling
method based on high-performance liquid chromatography coupled with diode-array
detection and electrospray ionization tandem mass spectrometry (HPLC-DAD-MS). Five
species were found in these territories. Two of them, Ramalina dumeticola and R. ovalis, are
already known. Three species are introduced here as new to science: Ramalina gloriosensis
sp. nov., R. hivertiana sp. nov., and R. marteaui sp. nov. An identification key is provided
for the species found in the area and morphologically closely related taxa.
