Acidity and electrical conductance of few flowering trees bark (Albizialebbeck, Delonixregia, Pongamiaglabra, Callistemon Lanceolatus, Cassia Fistula, Cassia Javanica) were evaluated to determine the impact the lichen value diversity in three different places based on different environmental factors. It has been stated that the correlation between acidity level and lichen species exists in all investigated tree species. Six lichen species(Chrysothrixcandelaris(L.) Laundon, Graphisscripta(L.) Ach, G. scripta(L.) Ach., leucosorodes Nyl, D. consimilis(Stirton) Awasthi, D. aegialita (Afz. in Ach.) Moore and L.(perplexa Brodo) were registered, among them three were foliose and three were crutose. Lichen leucosorode Nylwas predominant in Albizialebbeck, Delonixregia, Pongamiaglabra trees. It was observed that the lichen diversity was less near heavy traffic location and also rougher bark of trees provided a better habitat of wider variety of lichen species.
