This study is a survey of corticolous lichens in the Hundred Islands, Philippines noting their diversity and morpho-anatomical adaptive features. There were only six islands visited due to accessibility and safety reasons. There are at least thirty-two identified species of lichens; majority is crustose dominated by Graphidaceae lichens followed by pyrenolichens in terms of diversity. Morpho-anatomical features considered to be adaptive include crustose and narrow-lobed foliose growth forms, homiomerous thallus organization, thick upper cortex, and presence of pruina in the cortical or medullary layers. KEYWORDS : Hundred islands; epiphytic lichens; adaptive features
