This study attempts to document the composition of the foliose and fruticose lichens of the Villavicencio Reserve of the municipality of Rondón, Boyacá. For this purpose was carried an opportunistic sampling method in eight transects located in an Andean forest and in a paramo zone. Were identified 64 species arranged in 25 genera and 14 families, of which Parmeliaceae, Cladoniaceae y Lobariaceae were the most representative; as for the predominant growth habit, the foliose lichens dominated both ecosystems, therefore, the initial hypothesis of a differential distribution according to the morphology of the thallus was rejected. Were found 4 new records for Colombia and 23 for the department. In addition, detailed descriptions of the morphology, anatomy and ecology of each genera are presented, accompanied by their respective figures, as well as altitude data and habitat preferences.
