A total of 62 lichen taxa was found during a survey of Glasgow Botanic Gardens, Scotland conducted in 2018-20. This adds 54 taxa to the previous list of 14 recorded in the Gardens. Twelve lichen species have not been previously recorded in Glasgow and two - Catillaria nigroclavata and Verrucaria dolosa - are new to VC77 (Lanarkshire). Factors affecting the distribution and diversity of lichens in the Gardens are discussed.
