Abstract:	The 41 foliose and fruticulose lichen species identified from Rosia Montana area were characterised using the ecological indexes for chemical reaction of the substrate, according to Ellenberg et al. (1992) and Wirth (1995). Among the 41 species identified in the studied area, 2 species are included in Habitats Directive (Cladonia arbuscula, C. ciliata) and 9 are rare species (Cetraria islandica, C. sepincola, Cladonia bellidiflora, C. cervicornis, C. crispata, Pychnothelia papillaria, Usnea florida, U. subfloridana).
