Dear Rashida ji, To me this lichen appears to be a fruticose lichen *Ramalina farinacea*. This is one of the commonest tree- inhabiting species. The thallus is strap- shaped, flattened, grows in tufts - erect or pendant ( 3 to 10 cm long) and is grey-green in colour. The thallus is similar in appearance on both sides. Rashida ji, I don't know its exact size. From its look I am able to gather that it is *Ramalina* sp. If you have a close up of branches may be we can see soralia. Regards
