Abstract: 4 figures. 2 tables. [A new solvent system of toluene/ethyl acetate/formic acid is employed to separate B-orcinol depsidones with low Rf values. "Standardized chromatographic data and examples of specific problems are given. Chemical analyses are reported for 25 lichen species from 176 genera." Solvent G is toluene/ethyl acetate/formis acid (139:83:8, v/v/v; 230 ml).]
