Abstract
21 specimens of Lepraria lesdainii - for the most part of Central Euro pe - have been ana-lysed using thin layer chromatography as well as pa rtly lichen mass spectrometry. The major compound is a triterpene, for which the name ''lesdainin'' is proposed. The compound is sup-posed t o be identical with 6alpha-acetoxyhopan-22-ol. Morphology, ecology and distribution of the species are briefly described.
