Abstract:Forty-five taxa of lichens and lichenicolous fungi are recorded from La Palma for the first time. Twelve are new to the Canary Islands archipelago. One further species, Didymocyrtis canarienis, is described as new for science. The total number of known taxa from the island La Palma has raised to 874. An alphabetical annotated species list of all taxa with collection localities, substrate and occasional further annotations is presented.
