Graphis sitapurensis is a species of script lichen in the family Graphidaceae. [1] Found on the Andaman Islands, it was formally described as a new species in 2005 by Urmila Makhija and Bharati Adawadkar. The type specimen was collected from a moist deciduous forest in Sitapur ( Diglipur Range, North Andaman Island). The species epithet refers to the type locality. The ascomata (fruiting bodies) of the lichen are in the form of lirellae, [2] which are elongated and irregularly branched with a concealed disc; this particular set of characteristics is known as the deserpens-morph. [3]
