Abstract The paper lists 73 taxa of Greenland lichens. Immersaria athroocarpa, Melanelixia subaurifera and Polyblastia sakkobanensis are recorded for the first time from Greenland. Melanelia agnata, Melanohalea exasperatula and Peltigera britannica are new to South Greenland, while Miriquidica intrudens and Peltigera ponojensis are new to Central West Greenland. Caloplaca citrina, Cladonia galindezii, Pertusaria bryontha, Protoblastenia rupestris, Sphaerophorus globosus and Staurothele drummondii represent northern range extensions in North East Greenland. New localities north of 80° N are given for 59 lichen taxa from Greenland.
