Demise of Dr. P.G. Patwardhan, India   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #102 of 184 |
Dear Colleagues,
With grief I am informing you all that Dr. P.G. Patwardhan, a pioneer Lichenologist of India has passed away on15-05-2006 morning around 10.00 a.m. He was about 80 years old and left behind two daughters. During his last days he was suffering from ill health.
 
Dr. Patwardhan will be always remembered for establishing a prominent ‘Lichenology Group’ in India at Maharashtra Association for Cultivation of Science, Pune, Maharashtra, during 1960s. This organization is now called Agarkar Research Institute. The herbarium attached to this institute is known as Ajerkar Mycological Herbarium (AMH). Dr. Urmila Makhija, one of the students of Dr. Patwardhan is now heading this group.
 
Dr. Patwardhan had contributed greatly to the knowledge of Indian lichens especially to the Western Ghats and Andaman & Nicobar Islands. Earlier he was associated with Dr. M.E. Hale of Smithasonian Institute, Washington and worked on the Parmelioid lichens of India. The lichenology group at Pune, under the guidance of Dr. Patwardhan’s worked immensely on the microlichens of India belonging to families/group Arthoniaceae, Astrotheliaceae, Graphidaceae, Thelotremataceae, Pyrenocarpous and foliicolous lichens.
 
The lichenologist’s community of India mourns at the sad demise of their ‘God Father’ and prays ‘let his soul rest in peace’.
