Abstract
A method for the characterization of insoluble lichen pigments is presented . The method relies on pH-dependent colour reactions before and after pretr eatment with HNO3. Diagnostic reactions for 22 different pigments and a key for their identification are given. A standardized nomenclature and a proc edure similar to the typification of species in systematic botany is propos ed in order to avoid ambiguous naming. (C) 2000 The British Lichen society.
