From the foreword: "Macrolichens of Sikkim is an outcome of extensive collections of lichens and critical laboratory investigations on their taxonomy by the authors over a period of 9 years. The documentation of 320 species, distributed under 72 genera with many colour photographs from the State of Sikkim is a significant contribution to Indian lichenology. The present contribution would adequately serve the need of researchers, academicians, bioresource managers as well as nature lovers."
