Abstract
A new saxicolous species of Rinodina (R. brandii sp. nov.) is describe d from Belgium, where it grows on schistose rocks. It is mainly charac terized by the presence of pannarin, located only in the epihymenium, its thallus containing atranorin and zeorin and its large Physcia-type ascospores. It is compared with Rinodina confragosa, morphologically very similar, and with R. murrayi and R. santorinensis, chemically ver y close.
