Fissurina indica is a species of corticolous (bark-dwelling) script lichen in the family Graphidaceae.[1] Found in India, it was formally described as a new species in 2012 by Bharati Sharma, Pradnya Khadilkar, and Urmila Makhija. The type specimen was collected from Wynad forest (Kerala). The thallus of this lichen is greenish and glossy, with a cracked and [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] texture, and is delimited by a black [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|hypothalloidal]] region at its periphery. The small [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] (0.2–0.4 mm long) are present all over the thallus and have acute ends, a dumastii-type structure, and are the same colour as the thallus. The [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]] are hyaline, [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|{{Biology:{1}}}]], [[Glossary of lichen terms#{{biology:{1}}}|multilocular]], and measure 32–42 by 12–20 μm with an indistinct halo. No lichen products were detected in collected specimens.[2]
