ABSTRACT. The first checklist of New Jersey lichens, lichenicolous fungi, and allied fungi treated
with lichens (e.g., Mycocaliciaceae) is presented, together with an accounting of excluded species and
questionable historical reports. A total of 479 species are reported from the region based on extensive
study of herbarium specimens, fieldwork, and records compiled from the published literature crossreferenced with extant herbarium specimens. Prior published work on the lichens of New Jersey is
reviewed and discussed, as are avenues for further research. The currently documented biodiversity is
discussed from the standpoint of several widely used lichen traits (growth form, reproductive mode,
nutrition mode) and datasets derived from biodiversity inventories carried out by the authors are used
to illustrate trends in species frequencies.
Keywords. Atlantic Coastal Pine Barrens, biodiversity, conservation, historical baseline, Kittatinny
Ridge, Mid-Atlantic Coastal Plain, natural history collections, Piedmont, Pine Barrens, symbiosis.
INTRODUCTION
More than two centuries of continuous study of eastern North American lichens has
documented a biologically diverse and ecologically important biota comprising thousands
of species that include endemic elements of geographically widespread and narrowly
distributed species (Allen & Lendemer 2016, Gueidan & Lendemer 2015, Hale 1987,
Lendemer & Allen 2015, Lendemer & Harris 2015, McMullin 2015, Nelsen et al. 2010),
disjunct elements that include species from regions such as eastern Asia (Magain et al. 2016;
Miadlikowska et al. 2011; Sheard 2010; Sheard et al. 2014, 2017; Spribille et al. 2011) and
Europe (Brodo & Hawksworth 1977, Brodo & Vänskä 1984, Culberson & Culberson 1968,
Printzen et al. 2003, Sheard 1995), as well as a cosmopolitan element that includes species
considered to have large intercontinental distributions (Hale 1976a, Leavitt et al. 2015).
Despite having such a long and distinguished history of study however, relatively few areas
have been subjected to the systematic, large-scale biodiversity inventories that have already
been carried out for organisms such as vascular plants or vertebrates (see Lendemer & Allen
2014, Nash et al. 2002). Further, when such inventories have been carried out, they typically
highlight conservation issues and lead to the description of a remarkable number of taxa
new to science (e.g., Lendemer et al. 2016b, Lücking et al. 2011, Seavey et al. 2017, Spribille
et al. 2010).
As is the case for other areas in the eastern United States, the lichens of the densely
populated region between Boston and Philadelphia have been the subject of scientific
1

inquiry for hundreds of years (Brodo 2000, Fink 1904, Willey 1867). This is not surprising
given the rich history of local botanical study and major botanical research institutions
(Brendel 1879, Boom 1996, Harshberger 1899, Pennell 1941, Smith 1962, Thomas 2016,
Wood 2010). While historical accounts of the lichens in this area were largely synoptic
checklists incorporated into floras (e.g., Darlington 1853, Halsey 1823, Heller 1893,
Muhlenberg 1813), large-scale inventories have been carried out in modern times in areas
such as the Boston Harbor in Massachusetts (LaGreca et al. 2005), Long Island in New
York (Brodo 1968) and Pennsylvania (Lendemer 2011a). Yet, substantial knowledge gaps
remain and among these is the State of New Jersey.
The lichens of New Jersey, as a whole, have neither been systematically inventoried nor
the subject of a single focused publication. Although a synoptic checklist of New Jersey
lichens was published by Britton (1889), this list was based on material collected at limited
locations by a relatively small number of researchers and is now substantially outdated as
it is more than a century old. Likewise, while Wood (1914) enumerated the lichens found
throughout a large portion of the state, these records were included with those from other
adjacent states because the study was on areas within 100 miles of New York City. Evans
(1935, 1938, 1940) documented the diversity of the charismatic genus Cladonia in New
Jersey, however again these publications did not treat the numerous other lichens that occur
in the state. Aside from the aforementioned works, all published accounts of New Jersey
lichens have been geographically and taxonomically limited in scope (e.g., Harris 1985,
Hastings 1940, Lendemer 2006, Moldenke 1944) or were focused on scientific areas such as
ecology rather than floristics (e.g., Glenn & Webb 1997, Glenn et al. 1998, Little 1951, Lutz
1934, Sedia & Ehrenfeld 2006).
The above is surprising given the close proximity of New Jersey to institutions that have
long employed lichenologists and maintained substantial lichen collections (Lendemer
& Harris 2016a). It is also surprising given that, like adjacent areas of the eastern United
States, the lichens of New Jersey have been studied sporadically for more than a century and
thus a wealth of largely unpublished data is already housed in natural history collections.
Recently, while preparing an account of a lichen biodiversity inventory of Mercer County
(Waters & Lendemer, in rev.), we were struck by the absence of a modern checklist of New
Jersey lichens. This prompted us to prepare the present contribution.
METHODS
Literature Review. – A comprehensive compilation of lichens and allied fungi previously
reported from New Jersey was assembled from two sources: 1) a search for publications
indexed in Recent Literature on Lichens (Culberson et al. 2017) that had been tagged with
the keyword “New Jersey”; and 2) a review of the first 400 results of a Google Scholar
search for papers containing “lichen” and “New Jersey.” Each publication was examined
and all of the names of taxa reported therein were compiled into a single table that also
cited the source and year of publication. These reports were then supplemented by further
references found linked to the target publications or through additional opportunistic
searches of relevant taxonomic literature. We also incorporated records from Waters &
Lendemer (in rev.) as exclusion of the large number of species that will be reported in that
contribution would have rendered the present checklist obsolete in a short time frame. It
should be noted that our compiled literature reports only included taxa explicitly reported
from New Jersey. For example, Nash (1972) and Wetmore (1987) provided lists of species
NEW JERSEY LICHENS

found near the Delaware Water Gap, which straddles the border between New Jersey and
Pennsylvania, but they did not distinguish which state their records were derived from.
The nomenclature used in the original reports was then updated following Esslinger
(2016). In the case of some older reports, largely from the 19th century, the names used were
not present in the aforementioned reference and as such we relied on Index Fungorum
to guide the nomenclatural updates. In order to provide transparency to this process a
translation table was prepared and appended to the end of the checklist. The compiled list
of reports and updated names was then examined in detail and parsed into three categories:
1) checklist names: names derived from reliable records published in modern times (e.g.,
Harris 1985, Lendemer 2006); 2) synonyms and excluded species: names derived from
records that were misidentified, correspond to species that are very unlikely to occur in
New Jersey (e.g., published modern range maps that do not include the region), or represent
well-documented taxonomic synonyms; and 3) questionable records: names derived largely
from historical records whose occurrence in New Jersey is possible, but the identity of the
source voucher material should be examined and confirmed before the species is added to
the checklist. In many cases, the names included in the latter two groups were reported
by Britton (1889) or Wood (1914) and based on historical collections made by early New
Jersey collectors such as C.F. Austin and J.B. Ellis. In an effort to elucidate how these
historical reports corresponded to current taxonomic concepts we attempted to locate as
many of the original source vouchers as was possible. When such specimens were located,
they were examined as outlined in the proceeding section.
Herbarium Study. – This study is largely based on material in the herbarium of the New
York Botanical Garden (NY) and voucher data for all NY specimens examined can be
accessed via the C.V. Virtual Herbarium at NY (http://sweetgum.nybg.org/science/vh/).
All specimens were initially studied dry using an Olympus SZ-STB dissecting microscope.
Microscopic morphology and anatomy was then studied using an Olympus BX53
compound microscope and sections prepared by hand with a razor blade and mounted
in water or iodine. Chemistry was studied using standard spot tests (K, C, KC, P, UV)
following Brodo et al. (2001) and supplemented by Thin Layer Chromatography (TLC)
using Solvent Systems A and C following Culberson and Kristinsson (1970) but as modified
for the peanut butter jar by Lendemer (2011b).
RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
Historically, botanical interest in New Jersey has focused on the Pine Barrens in the south
and the Kittatinny Ridge near the Delaware Water Gap in the northwest (Brendel 1879,
Britton 1899, Keller & Brown 1905, Stone 1911). Lichenology has generally followed this
pattern as is evidenced by the number of collections per county (Figure 1), and by the foci
of published studies (Harris 1985, Harris & Lendemer 2006, Forman 1998, Lendemer 2006,
Little 1951, Niering 1953). Indeed, of the 9,836 New Jersey lichen collections indexed in the
Consortium of North American Lichen Herbaria (CNALH 2018), nearly half (4,136, 42%)
originated in the core Pine Barrens counties of Atlantic, Burlington, and Ocean, while 1,459
(15%) originated in the Kittatinny Mountains or Delaware Water Gap counties of Sussex
and Warren. In contrast, Essex, Hudson, and Union counties, located across the Hudson
River from New York City, are the least collected in the state (Figure 1). Although natural
communities in these densely populated areas that include extensive urban and suburban
areas may have been greatly impacted by human disturbance, recent studies in adjacent

Staten Island in New York (Allen & Howe 2016) illustrate that lichens are almost certainly
more frequent and diverse than the available data suggest.
Our survey of the literature combined with study of herbarium materials, led to the
recognition of a total of 479 taxa of lichens, lichenicolous and allied fungi from New Jersey.
The herbarium specimens examined for this study included the entire New Jersey holdings
NEW JERSEY LICHENS

at NY (4,931 specimens) and incorporated the results of extensive unpublished field studies
carried out by ourselves in portions of central and southern New Jersey (Figure 2). The
results of this survey are summarized in the form of a checklist in the proceeding section.
Although beyond the scope of the present study, an important avenue for future research
involves reexamination and verification of the historical collections from New Jersey
made by I.M. Brodo (deposited at MSC), T.H. Nash (deposited at ASU) and J.W. Eckfeldt
together with H.A. Green (deposited at PH).
Based on the composition of the total checklist, fully more than half of the biota of lichens
and allied fungi in New Jersey corresponds to taxa with crustose growth forms (55%, 256
taxa), while the bulk of the remaining percentage correspond to foliose (27%, 128 taxa),
fruticose (4%, 20 taxa) and squamulose (4%, 18 taxa) growth forms. An additional 10% (47
taxa) of the lichens were classified as having a polymorphic growth form because they have
dimorphic thalli comprised of a primary growth form and a secondary form. Taxa with
polymorphic growth forms are exemplified by many members of the genus Cladonia that
have a squamulose primary thallus and a fruticose secondary thallus (Brodo et al. 2001), or
Baeomyces, Dibaeis and Pycnothelia all of which have crustose primary thalli and fruticose
secondary thalli (Brodo et al. 2001). Although growth forms are typically used to classify
lichens into generalized groups of macro- and micro- lichens, certain crustose species with
conspicuous and superficially foliose thalli are often included in the former group (e.g.,
Hinds & Hinds 2008). As such, we also examined the proportion of taxa that would be
classified as macro- or microlichens and found that those groups corresponded well to the

proportion of species with crustose thalli to those with other growth forms (45% or 213
macrolichen taxa and 55% or 262 microlichen taxa).
Of the 475 taxa, 95% (451 taxa) were lichen-forming fungi, 3% (13 taxa) were
lichenicolous fungi and 3% (11 taxa) were non-lichenized fungi often treated with lichens
(e.g., Mycocaliciaceae). Meanwhile, of the lichenized taxa, the vast majority (83%, 371 taxa)
are fungi that associate with green algal photobionts, while only 9% (41 taxa) associate
with cyanobacteria and 7% (32 taxa) associate with the filamentous green algal genus
Trentepohlia. Five additional taxa were classified as having a polymorphic nutrition mode
because they primarily associate with green algae but also incorporate cyanobacteria into
their thalli (i.e., members of Lobaria and Stereocaulon).
From the perspective of reproductive mode, more than half (64%, 302 taxa) of the
biota reproduces primarily through the production of sexual ascospores, while just over
a third (35%, 165 taxa) reproduce primarily through the production of asexual lichenized
propagules such as soredia and isidia. Only a small number of species (6 taxa, 1% of the total)
reproduce primarily using mitotic non-lichenized propagules (i.e., conidia) and these belong
to two groups: lichenicolous fungi with named anamorphic states (e.g., Hawksworth 1981),
and members of the lichen genus Gyalideopsis that nearly always produce hyphophores but
variably produce apothecia (e.g., Lendemer 2017, Lücking et al. 2007).
In addition to the traits discussed above, we attempted to examine the frequency of lichen
species in the study area. While we initially considered analyzing all available vouchers (e.g.,
the 9,836 in CNALH), we ultimately limited our study to two smaller datasets comprised
of our own collections for two reasons. First, we had personally examined and verified
the identifications of the vouchers, and as such, the nomenclature and taxonomy were
more likely to be standardized and uniform in contrast to having been identified by many
different individuals over centuries. Second, in both cases our field protocols involved
floristic habitat sampling of spatially discrete sites wherein the goal was to inventory total
lichen biodiversity (see Lendemer et al. 2016b), in contrast to opportunistic collecting of
species. An examination of these two datasets revealed that in both cases, many species were
found at only a single location (35% of 253 species for JCL, 45% of 164 species for DW),
approximately half of the species were found at only one or two locations (50% for JCL,
57% for DW), and the vast majority of species were found at fewer than ten locations (83%
for both JCL and DW) (Figure 3).
The dataset compiled from Lendemer collections consisted of sites concentrated in
southern New Jersey. The most frequently documented species in the region, with frequency
defined as fifteen or more occurrences, were Cladonia grayi, C. ochrochlora, C. subtenuis,
Flavoparmelia caperata, Lecanora layana, Lecanora thysanophora, Lepra pustulata, Lepraria
caesiella, Lepraria finkii, Lepraria harrisiana, Nadvornikia sorediata, Parmelia squarrosa,
Parmotrema hypotropum, Phaeophyscia rubropulchra, Punctelia caseana, Punctelia
rudecta, and Pyrrhospora varians. While those seventeen species were approximately
equally divided between macro- and microlichens (53% macro- vs. 47% micro-), they were
strongly skewed toward asexual modes of reproduction that involve lichenized propagules
(88% asexual lichenized vs. 12% sexual). The dataset compiled from Waters’ collections
consisted of sites concentrated in central New Jersey. The most frequently documented
species in that region, with frequency again defined as fifteen or more occurrences, were
Amandinea polyspora, Candelaria concolor, Cladonia ochrochlora, Flavoparmelia caperata,
Lecanora strobilina, Lepraria finkii, Myelochroa aurulenta, Parmotrema hypotropum,

Physcia millegrana, Pyrrhospora varians, Pyxine subcinerea and Ropalospora viridis. As was
the case for southern New Jersey lichens, those twelve species were approximately equally
divided between macro- and microlichens (58% macro- vs. 42% micro-) as well as strongly
skewed toward asexual reproduction via lichenized propagules (75% asexual lichenized
vs. 25% sexual). Importantly, both sets of the most frequent species are comprised of taxa
documented to be common and have broad geographic distributions in temperate eastern
North America (e.g., Brodo et al. 2001; Hinds & Hinds 2007; Lendemer 2011, 2013).
It is tempting to contrast the above results with a comparison of the rarest species, be it
those encountered during our field studies, or those known only from historical occurrences.
However, we have refrained from doing so here because at present a comprehensive modern
baseline of lichens from throughout the state is lacking. While observational data may
support hypotheses of large-scale declines in lichen abundance and diversity across the study
area during the last century, such observations must be validated through direct comparison
between modern and historical baselines. This would be an excellent area for future study
given the wealth of historical records derived from a small number of locations distributed
widely across the state (e.g., Closter and the Palisades in Bergen County inventoried by
C.F. Austin; Atco in Camden County inventoried by H.A. Green and J.W. Eckfeldt;
Newfield in Gloucester County inventoried by J.B. Ellis; Watchung in Somerset County
inventoried by M.N. Moldenke; and High Point State Park in Sussex County inventoried
by W.A. Niering). Nonetheless, while a comprehensive, comparable modern baseline is
lacking, it is clear that many species that were collected historically have not been located
in modern times and these often include species of cyanolichens or fruticose macrolichens
that are sensitive to disturbance or pollution. Examples of such species include Coccocarpia
erythroxyli, Heterodermia echinata, Leptogium corticola, Lobaria pulmonaria, Pannaria
lurida subsp. russellii, Pseudevernia consocians, Usnea angulata, U. ceratina and Vahliella
leucophaea.

Excluded Taxa and Questionable Historical Reports
Acarospora glaucocarpa (Wahlenb. ex Ach.) Körb. – Records should be referred to A.
canadensis.
Alectoria jubata (L.) Tuck. – Reported by Britton (1889) based on unspecific earlier
collections made by C.F. Austin and others. Multiple specimens collected by C.F. Austin
from New Jersey and identified as this taxon belong to Bryoria furcellata.
Alectoria jubata var. bicolor Fr. – This taxon is now treated as Bryoria bicolor (Ehrh.) Brodo
& D. Hawksw., however the report of this species by Britton (1889: 359) based on
material collected by Eckfeldt in Sussex County likely refers to B. furcellata as the range
of B. bicolor is not mapped as including New Jersey (Brodo & Hawksworth 1977). No
New Jersey specimens originally identified as A. jubata var. bicolor were located at NY.
Alectoria jubata var. chalybeiformis Ach. – This taxon was treated as Bryoria chalybeiformis
(Ach.) Brodo & D. Hawksw. (Brodo & Hawksworth 1977) but has since been considered
a synonym of B. fuscescens (Gyeln.) Brodo & D. Hawksw. by Velmala et al. (2014).
Regardless, it was not mapped as occurring in New Jersey (Brodo & Hawksworth 1977)
32
BARTONIA
and the report by Britton (1889: 359) based on collections made by Austin in Bergen
County and Eckfeldt in Camden and Atlantic Counties likely refers to B. furcellata. All
New Jersey specimens originally identified as A. jubata var. chalybeiformis at NY have
been reidentified as B. furcellata.
Alectoria jubata var. implexa Fr. – This taxon is now treated as Bryoria implexa (Fr.) Brodo
& D. Hawksw., however the report by Britton (1889: 359) based on collections made by
Austin in Bergen County and Eckfeldt in Camden and Atlantic Counties likely refers
to B. trichodes subsp. trichodes. Two specimens collected by C.F. Austin at Budd Lake
(NY-01077623, NY-1608284) belong to B. trichodes. A search of CNALH did not reveal
any Eckfeldt herbarium specimens under this name from New Jersey.
Alectoria ochroleuca var. sarmentosa (Ach.) Nyl. – This taxon is now treated as Alectoria
sarmentosa Ach. (Brodo & Hawksworth 1977) and its range is not considered to include
New Jersey (l.c.). The report by Britton (1889: 359) was based on an Eckfeldt collection
from Sussex County and it is unclear what taxon this represents as a search of CNALH
did not reveal any Eckfeldt herbarium specimens under this name from New Jersey.
Arthonia astroidea Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 379) based on
collections from Bergen made by Austin, as well as Atco and Camden by Eckfeldt.
The name is now treated as a synonym of A. radiata (Pers.) Ach. (Esslinger 2016),
but that species is not known to occur in New Jersey (Lendemer, unpublished data).
One specimen collected by Austin and identified as A. astroidea with a question mark
(NY-506674) is referable to A. pyrrhuliza. Another specimen collected by Austin
(NY-1608451) represents a different species of Arthonia, unfortunately it could not be
completely identified because the specimen lacked ascospores.
Arthonia astroidea var. swartziana (Ach.) Sacc. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889:
379) based on material collected by Eckfeldt in Warren. It is now treated as a synonym
of A. radiata (Esslinger 2016), but that species is not known to occur in New Jersey
(Lendemer, unpublished data).
Arthonia dispersa Dufour – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 380) based on
material collected on Acer by Eckfeldt in Camden. We have not located any specimens
originally identified as A. dispersa and refrain from including it on the checklist until
such material can be examined and confirmed.
Arthonia polymorpha Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 380) based on
material collected on Carya by Eckfeldt at Newfield. We have not located any specimens
originally identified as A. polymorpha and refrain from including it on the checklist until
such material can be examined and confirmed.
Arthonia pyrrhula Nyl. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 380) based on material
collected on Castanea by Eckfeldt at Newfield. We have not located any specimens
originally identified as A. pyrrhula and refrain from including it on the checklist until
such material can be examined and confirmed. The species is now treated as Coniarthonia
pyrrhula (Nyl.) Grube and although widespread in the southeastern Coastal Plain (e.g.,
Lendemer et al. 2016b), is not known to occur in New Jersey.
Arthonia stellaris Kremp. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 380) based on
material collected on Ailanthus by Eckfeldt at Atco. We have not located any specimens
originally identified as A. stellaris and refrain from including it on the checklist until such
material can be examined and confirmed.
Arthonia taediosa Nyl. – Britton (1889: 380) reported this species from material collected in
Newfield, Gloucester County. Although he indicated that it was collected by Eckfeldt,
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
33
it is more likely that the material was collected by Ellis and sent to Eckfeldt. The only
specimen we examined that was identified as A. taediosa was collected by Green at Atco
and is referable to A. susa. As has been discussed by Lendemer et al. (2013), historical
reports of A. taediosa should refer to A. susa if the specimens were correctly identified.
Bacidia inundata (Fr.) Körb. – This taxon was reported by Moldenke (1935) and is now
referred to as Bacidina inundata (Fr.) Vězda (fide Esslinger 2016). The genus Bacidina
Vězda is poorly understood in eastern North America and many different species were
collectively referred to this taxon historically (see e.g., Ekman 1996) such that the identity
of this report cannot be ascertained with certainty as no supporting voucher was located
by us.
Baeomyces byssoides (L.) P. Gaertn., G. Mey. & Schreb. – The report of this taxon by Britton
(1899) refers to B. rufus.
Biatora cupreorosella (Nyl. ex Stizenb.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 375) reported this species
based on material collected by Austin in Sussex County. Esslinger (2016) listed B.
cupreorosella as a synonym of Lecania cuprea (A. Massal.) van den Boom & Coppins
and, while it is possible that report corresponds to L. cuprea, we have not reviewed the
original vouchers. We have also not reviewed any currently identified vouchers of L.
cuprea from New Jersey.
Biatora exigua (Chaub.) Fr. – This name was cited parenthetically by Britton (1889) when
reporting Lecidea varians. The records almost certainly all correspond to Pyrrhospora
varians
Biatora inundata Fr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 375) based on material
collected at unspecified locations in New Jersey by Austin. Further discussion is
presented in this section under Bacidia inundata.
Biatora mixta Fr. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) and Britton (1889: 375), the
latter based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Camden. Britton
(1889) also included a parenthetical reference to B. tricolor Mont. While Esslinger (2016)
listed B. mixta as a synonym of Cliostomum griffithii (Sm.) Coppins, it is more likely
that the records refer to Pyrrhospora varians. Nonetheless the two specimens collected
by Austin that we have examined were instead referable to Lecidea erythrophaea (NY1069027) and Lecania naegelii (NY-1079076).
Biatora parvifolia (Pers.) Mont. – Britton (1889: 374) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Salem. The species is now treated
as Phyllopsora parvifolia (Pers.) Müll. Arg. (Brako 1991, Timdal 2011), however it is
not known to occur as far north along the Atlantic Coast as New Jersey (Lendemer,
unpublished data). We examined a specimen identified as B. parvifolia collected by
Austin (NY-1077324) and it was referable to P. corallina.
Biatora rubella (Hoffm.) Rabenh. – This taxon is now treated as Bacidia rubella (Hoffm.)
A. Massal., however its range is not considered to include New Jersey (Ekman 1996).
It was reported from New Jersey by Britton (1889: 375) and Wood (1914), however all
relevant material at NY either belongs to Bacidia schweinitzii or B. suffusa.
Biatora russellii Tuck. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) based on terricolous
material collected by Austin in Bergen. While one would normally assume that the
record corresponds to Psora pseudorussellii, that species occurs on calcareous rocks and
not soil. We have not located the original specimen that served as the basis of this report
and thus cannot state with certainty what species it represents.
Biatora sanguineoatra (Wulfen) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 375) reported this species based
34
BARTONIA
on material collected by Austin. It is currently recognized as a distinct member of
Bryobilimbia (Fryday et al. 2014) but the vouchers collected by Austin that we have
examined (NY-1079343, NY-1608420) were instead referable to Bilimbia sabuletorum.
Buellia colludens Arnold – Britton (1889: 377) reported this species based on material
collected in Salem by Eckfeldt and included a parenthetical reference to “Lecidea myrini
Fr..” Although B. colludens is now treated as a synonym of Rhizocarpon hochstetteri
(Körb.) Vain. (Fryday 2002), that is a saxicolous species and the report by Britton (1889)
was based on corticolous material. Given this it is unclear what species the report would
have referred to.
Buellia lactea (A. Massal.) Körb. – This species was reported by Wood (1914), however we
have not reviewed any vouchers originally assigned to this taxon.
Buellia parasema De Not. – Britton (1889: 377) reported this species and stated that it
was “on various trunks throughout the state.” Although records are generally treated
as referring to Hafellia disciformis (Fr.) Marbach & H. Mayrhofer (Esslinger 2016), the
name was historically used for many different corticolous Buellia species in eastern North
America. All of the specimens from New Jersey originally assigned to B. parasema that
we have examined belong to B. stillingiana (NY-1077446, NY-1077447, NY-1077448,
NY-1077449, NY-1077450, NY-1077451).
Buellia petraea var. montagnei Tuck. – The taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 377) under
the names based on material collected by Austin in Warren and Bergen. Although it is
likely that the specimens originally identified as this taxon are referable to Rhizocarpon
grande (see entry for R. petraeum below), we have not located any material at NY that
was originally identified as B. petraea var. montagnei.
Buellia schaereri De Not. – Britton (1889: 377) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Warren, however the specimens
assigned to B. schaereri that we examined (NY-1077972, NY-1608445) were referable to
Amandinea punctata.
Caloplaca cinnabarina (Ach.) Zahlbr. – Hastings (1940) reported this species, however in
its current sense C. cinnabarina is not considered to occur in New Jersey (Wetmore &
Kärnefelt 1999). Two specimens from New Jersey (NY-1069511, NY-1069512) originally
identified as C. cinnabarina instead belong to C. subsoluta.
Caloplaca citrina (Hoffm.) Th. Fr. – This species was reported from New Jersey by Lendemer
(2004, 2006), however the material is not conspecific with C. citrina and instead belongs
to one of the members of this group with sorediate areoles (e.g., Arup 2006). We have
opted to refer all such material to C. flavocitrina here pending further study of this group
in North America.
Candelariella reflexa (Nyl.) Lettau – This species was reported by Lendemer (2004, 2006),
however the records refer to C. xanthostigmoides (see Lendemer & Westberg 2010).
Cetraria fahlunensis (L.) Schaer. – Britton (1889: 358) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in the Delaware Water Gap. While C. fahluensis is now treated as
Cetrariella commixta (Nyl.) A. Thell & Kärnefelt (fide Esslinger 2016), we reexamined
the specimen collected by Austin and found it to represent Melanelia culbersonii.
Cetraria islandica (L.) Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 358) based on
collections from Delaware Water Gap made by Austin. It was also reported by Torrey
(1937). All of the specimens originally identified as C. islandica at NY have proven to
be C. arenaria, including two specimens collected by Austin at the Delaware Water Gap
(NY-1068268, NY-1077626).

Cetraria juniperina (L.) Ach. – Reports of this species by Britton (1889) and Little (1951)
refer to Vulpicida viridis.
Cetraria lacunosa Ach. – Reports of this species by Britton (1889), Little (1951) and Torrey
(1933a) refer to Platismatia tuckermanii.
Chrysothrix flavovirens Tønsberg – The report of this species by Lendemer (2006) refers to
Chrysothrix chamaecyparicola.
Cladonia alpestris (L.) Rabenh. – This species was reported by Sedia & Ehrenfeld (2003,
2005, 2006) and is presently considered to be conspecific with C. stellaris (Opiz) Pouzar
& Vězda. Nonetheless C. stellaris is not known to occur in New Jersey. No correctly
identified vouchers were seen for this study (although New Jersey was included in the
range map published by Brodo et al. (2001)) and the reports could refer to either C.
arbuscula or C. subtenuis.
“Cladonia bacillaris f. peritheta (Wallr.) Arn.” – This name was used by Evans (1940) and
almost certainly refers to C. macilenta var. bacillaris.
Cladonia calycantha Nyl. – This species was reported by several authors (Evans 1935, 1938,
1940; Forman 1998, Little 1951) and these reports almost certainly all correspond to C.
rappii.
Cladonia calycantha f. foliosa Vain. – This taxon was reported by Evans (1938, 1940) as well
as Little (1951). The records are likely C. rappii
Cladonia caroliniana Tuck. – This species was reported by many authors (Evans 1935,
Forman 1998, Hastings 1940, Moldenke 1935, Niering 1953, Olsson 1998). The specimens
we examined were mostly referable to C. dimorphoclada (e.g., NY-973753, NY-973757,
NY-973759, NY-973760, NY-973767, NY-973992), while others represented C. uncialis
(e.g., NY-1069074, NY-1069075, NY-1069076, NY-1069077).
Cladonia caroliniana f. dilatata A. Evans – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935, 1938, 1940) and Moldenke (1935). The specimens we examined were referable
to a mix of C. dimorphoclada (e.g., NY-973754, NY-973763) and C. uncialis (e.g., NY1069078, NY-1069079, NY-1069080, NY-1069081, NY-1069082).
Cladonia caroliniana f. fibrillosa A. Evans – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935) and the record almost certainly refers to C. dimorphoclada.
Cladonia caroliniana f. prolifera A. Evans – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1940) and the record almost certainly refers to C. dimorphoclada.
Cladonia caroliniana f. tenuiramea A. Evans – This infraspecific taxon was reported
by Evans (1935, 1938, 1940) and the specimens we examined (e.g., NY-973752, NY973755, NY-973756, NY-973758, NY-973762, NY-973765) were all referable to C.
dimorphoclada.
Cladonia clavulifera Vain. – This species was reported by several authors (Evans 1935, 1940;
Moldenke 1940; Forman 1998), however the reports almost certainly refer to various
members of the C. subcariosa group such as C. polycarpoides and C. sobolescens.
Cladonia clavulifera f. nudicaulis A. Evans – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935, 1938, 1940) and Moldenke (1940). The specimens identified under this name at
NY that we examined were referable to either C. polycarpoides (NY-1077389) or C.
sobolescens (NY-1068934, NY-1068935, NY-1068936).
Cladonia clavulifera f. pleurocarpa Robbins – This infraspecific taxon was reported by
Evans (1938, 1940), however the records almost certainly refer to C. sobolescens.
Cladonia clavulifera f. subfastigiata Robbins – This infraspecific taxon was reported by
Evans (1935), however the record almost certainly refers to C. sobolescens.

Cladonia clavulifera f. subvestita Robbins – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935, 1938, 1940), however the records almost certainly refer to C. sobolescens.
Cladonia coccifera (L.) Willd. – This taxon was reported by Rosentreter & Belnap (2001),
however C. coccifera is a primarily northern species and no vouchers from New Jersey
were seen as part of this study.
Cladonia cornucopioides (L.) Hoffm. – This species was reported by several early authors
(Britton 1889, Wood 1913, Moldenke 1939). While it is presently treated as a synonym of
C. coccifera (L.) Willd., that species does not occur in New Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001) and
the specimens identified as C. cornucopioides at NY (e.g., NY-1608412, NY-1077354,
NY-1077355, NY-1077356, NY-1077357) were referable to C. pleurota.
Cladonia cornuta (L.) Hoffm. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 372) based on
terricolous collections made by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Warren. We have not
reviewed any specimens originally identified as C. cornuta from New Jersey and we
exclude it from the checklist as it has a northern distribution in North America (Brodo
et al. 2001) and the original reports almost certainly referred to other sorediate taxa such
as C. ochrochlora and C. rei.
Cladonia deformis (L.) Hoffm. – This taxon was reported by Rosentreter & Belnap (2001),
however C. deformis is a primarily northern species and no vouchers from New Jersey
were seen as part of this study.
Cladonia degenerans (Flörke) Spreng. – Britton (1889: 372) reported this species based on
terricolous material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Sussex and Warren.
Surprisingly, we were unable to locate any material at NY that was originally named
C. degenerans, and this included amongst the material filed as C. phyllophora and C.
verticillata. Thus it is unclear what species the report refers to.
Cladonia diversa Asperges – Lendemer (2006) reported this species, however the vouchers
represent C. pleurota.
Cladonia fimbriata (L.) Fr. – This species was reported from New Jersey by multiple
authors (Britton 1889; Bard 1952; Evans 1935, 1938, 1940; Woods 1914), however all of
the historical specimens we examined at NY have proven to represent other taxa with
simple podetia that can form shallow cups (e.g., C. ochrochlora and C. rei). The reports
by Evans may be accurate, however we have not reviewed the vouchers upon which they
were based and prefer to exclude the species from the checklist at present.
Cladonia fimbriata var. tubaeformis (Hoffm.) Fr. – Britton (1889: 372) reported this species
based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and also included a parenthetical
reference to C. fimbriata var. adspersa F. Wilson. As was the case for C. fimbriata itself,
the specimens collected by Austin that we examined at NY and identified as C. fimbriata
var. adspersa were C. ochrochlora (NY-1068995) or C. rei (NY-1068998).
Cladonia gracilis (L.) Willd. – This taxon was report by Britton (1889: 372) based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt at Atco in Camden County. It was also
reported by Evans (1940). Specimens originally identified as C. gracilis and collected
by Austin are referable to a mixture of different species including C. peziziformis (NY1069139), C. phyllophora (NY-01817856), C. rei (NY-1068993, NY-1068997), and C.
verticillata (NY-1068518). Likewise, a collection made by Green at Atco (NY-952514),
likely at the time as Eckfeldt would have visited the site, was referable to C. atlantica.
Cladonia gracilis var. dilatata (Hoffm.) Vain. f. “squamulosa (Schaer.) Sandst.” – This taxon
was reported by Evans (1940), however we have not reviewed any material assigned to
this taxon and it almost certainly refers to a species of Cladonia other than C. gracilis.

Cladonia gracilis var. elongata (Wulfen) Flörke – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889:
372) based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and on “small forms” collected
by Eckfeldt in Sussex. We have not reviewed any material assigned to this taxon and it
almost certainly refers to a species of Cladonia other than C. gracilis.
Cladonia gracilis f. hybrida Schaer. – Britton (1889: 372) listed this taxon as “var. hybrida”
and based the report on material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfledt in Salem.
We have not reviewed any material assigned to this taxon and it almost certainly refers to
a species of Cladonia other than C. gracilis.
Cladonia implexa Harm. – This species was reported by Evans (1938, 1940) and North
American records are treated as referring to Cladonia portentosa (Dufour) Coem.
(Esslinger 2016). Nonetheless C. portentosa does not occur in the region (Brodo et al.
2001) and it is unclear what species exactly the reports of C. implexa would refer to.
Cladonia implexa “f. subpellucida Harm.” – Evans (1938) reported this taxon from New
Jersey, however we have not reviewed any material assigned to this name and it almost
certainly refers to another species of Cladonia.
Cladonia lepidota Nyl. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 373) based on
collections made by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Salem. We examined three
specimens collected by Austin (NY-1608402, NY-1069144, NY-1069145) and all proved
to represent C. piedmontensis.
Cladonia mitis Sandst. – This taxon was reported from New Jersey several times (Evans
1935, 1938, 1940; Moldenke 1939; Sedia & Ehrenfeld 2003, 2005, 2006). However while
its range was mapped as including New Jersey by Brodo et al. (2001), all of the specimens
we have examined that were originally identified as C. mitis have instead proven to
represent C. submitis. Therefore we exclude C. mitis from the checklist until a correctly
identified voucher can be located.
Cladonia mitis f. divaricata Sandst. – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935). However as is the case for C. mitis itself, the record almost certainly belongs to
C. submitis.
Cladonia mitis f. prolifera Sandst. – This infraspecific taxon was reported by several times
(Moldenke 1939; Evans 1935, 1938, 1940). However as is the case for C. mitis itself, the
records almost certainly belong to C. submitis.
Cladonia nanodes Robbins nom. inval. – This name does not appear to have been validly
published, but was listed for New Jersey by Evans (1940). The only collection we
examined that was originally assigned to this name (Atlantic Co., Port Republic, 1936,
R.H. Torrey s.n. (NY-1077126)) represents C. strepsilis.
“Cladonia papillaria f. prolifera (Wallr.) Schaer.” – This name was used by Evans (1940) and
almost certainly refers to Pycnothelia papillaria.
“Cladonia rangiferina var. sylvatica (L.) Fr.” – Britton (1889) used this name, however the
reports could easily refer to any of several species that occur in New Jersey, including C.
arbuscula, C. rangiferina or C. subtenuis.
Cladonia scabriuscula (Del.) Leight. – This taxon was reported by Evans (1938, 1940),
however we have not located any specimens referable to the species. We have excluded it
from the checklist pending examination of the original specimens.
Cladonia stellaris (Opiz) Pouzar & Vězda – This taxon was reported by Rosentreter &
Belnap (2001), however C. stellaris is a primarily northern species and no vouchers from
New Jersey were seen as part of this study (see also the entry for C. alpestris in this
section).

BARTONIA
Cladonia subcariosa Nyl. – This species was reported from New Jersey by Bard (1952),
Evans (1935, 1938, 1940) and Moldenke (1935). Although it is a rare species that occurs
in the Mid-Atlantic region, all specimens we have examined from New Jersey proved to
represent C. polycarpoides, which differs in the absence of atranorin.
Cladonia subcariosa var. evoluta Vain. – This infraspecific taxon was reported by multiple
authors (Bard 1952; Evans 1935, 1938, 1940; Hastings 1940; Moldenke 1935), however
all specimens examined for this study proved to represent C. polycarpoides rather than
C. subcariosa.
Cladonia subcariosa f. pleurocarpa Robbins – This infraspecific taxon was reported by
Evans (1940), however all specimens examined for this study proved to represent C.
polycarpoides rather than C. subcariosa.
Cladonia subcariosa f. squamulosa Robbins – This infraspecific taxon was reported by
multiple authors (Bard 1952; Evans 1938, 1940; Moldenke 1935), however all specimens
examined for this study proved to represent C. polycarpoides rather than C. subcariosa.
Cladonia sylvatica (L.) Hoffm. – This species was reported by many authors (Evans 1935,
1938, 1940; Forman 1998, Hastings 1940, Moldenke 1935, Torrey 1937) and the records
likely correspond to both C. arbuscula and C. subtenuis.
Cladonia sylvatica f. decumbens Anders – This taxon was reported by Evans (1935) and
could refer to C. arbuscula or C. subtenuis.
Cladonia sylvatica f. prolifera Sandst. – This taxon was reported by Evans (1940) and could
refer to C. arbuscula or C. subtenuis.
Cladonia sylvatica f. pygmaea Sandst. – This taxon was reported by Evans (1935, 1938) and
could refer to C. arbuscula or C. subtenuis.
“Cladonia sylvatica f. setigera Oxner” – This name was used by Evans (1938) and could
refer to C. arbuscula or C. subtenuis.
Cladonia symphycarpia (Flörke) Fr. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 371) from
localities throughout New Jersey, however it is not presently considered to occur in the
region (Brodo et al. 2001). Historically the name was applied to other members of the
C. subcariosa group that are known from the area, particularly C. polycarpoides, and it is
likely that the report by Britton (1889) refers to one of those species. Britton (1889: 372)
also reported the infraspecific taxon “C. symphicarpa var. epiphylla (Ach.) Nyl.” from
New Jersey and this almost certainly also refers to one of the other members of the C.
subcariosa group.
Cladonia tenuis (Flörke) Harm. – This species was reported from New Jersey multiple
times (Evans 1935, 1938, 1940, Moldenke 1940), however it is not known to occur in
New Jersey and the reports almost certainly all refer to C. subtenuis.
Cladonia tenuis f. setigera Abbayes – This infraspecific taxon was reported by Evans
(1935, 1938, 1940) and as is the case for C. tenuis the records almost certainly refer to C.
subtenuis instead.
Cladonia turgida Ehrh. ex Hoffm. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton
1889, Evans 1938, Dix 1942). While it is mapped as occurring in New Jersey by Brodo
et al. (2001) we have not located the species in the region and all collections identified
as C. turgida at NY belong to other species with large primarily squamules such as C.
apodocarpa and C. polycarpoides. We exclude C. turgida from the list pending discovery
of a correctly named voucher.
Collema microphyllum (Sw.) DC. – Britton (1889: 365) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen “on old trunks”. We have not located any
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
39
specimens originally identified as C. microphyllum and refrain from including it on the
checklist until such material can be examined and confirmed.
Collema pulposum (Bernh.) Ach. – This species was reported by multiple early authors
(Britton 1889, Wood 1913, Torrey 1933). While it is presently treated as a synonym
of Enchylium tenax, the specimens originally assigned to this name belong to different
species including both E. tenax (NY-475260) and C. pustulatum (NY-475246).
Collema verruciforme (Ach.) Nyl. – This taxon was reported by both Britton (1889) and
Wood (1914), however we have not reviewed any specimens originally assigned to
this name. Further, Esslinger (2016) considered the occurrence of the species in North
America to be doubtful, so it seems likely that the reports refer to another species of
cyanolichen.
Coniocybe pallida (Pers.) Fr. – Britton (1889: 381) reported this species based on material
collected by Eckfeldt at Newfield “on dead wood”. Although North America records of
C. pallida are now treated as Sclerophora nivea (Hoffm.) Tibell, that is a rare corticolous
species that one would presume does not occur on “dead wood” (Selva 2014). We have
not located any material that was originally identified as C. pallida.
Crocynia lanuginosa (Ach.) Hue – This species was reported by Moldenke (1935) and is
currently treated as Lepraria membranacea (Dickson) Vain., a species that is not considered
to occur in New Jersey (Lendemer 2013). The name C. lanuginosa was broadly applied
historically to nearly all species currently placed in Lepraria Ach., however the majority
of earlier reports from eastern North America apply to the common and widespread
species L. finkii which is found throughout New Jersey.
Crocynia membranacea (Dicks.) Zahlbr. – This species was reported by Moldenke (1934a,
1935) and is currently treated as Lepraria membranacea (Dickson) Vain., a taxon that is
not considered to occur in New Jersey (Lendemer 2013). As is the case for C. lanuginosa,
the name C. membranacea was widely misapplied to a other species of Lepraria in the past
and most eastern North American reports apply to L. finkii rather than L. membranacea.
Dermatocarpon aquaticum (Hoffm.) Zahlbr. – This taxon was reported by Moldenke
(1934a, 1935) and while the reports likely correspond to D. luridum we have not yet
examined the source voucher specimens.
Dermatocarpon hepaticum (Ach.) Th. Fr. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) and
was also reported earlier under the name Endocarpon hepaticum. We examined two
specimens at originally assigned to D. hepaticum (NY-414353, NY-414350) and found
that both correspond to Placidium squamulosum.
Dermatocarpon miniatum (L.) W. Mann – This species was reported by several authors
(Hastings 1940, Moldenke 1935, Torrey 1933). While it is likely that the records refer
to D. muhlenbergii, there is a possibility that they correspond to other members of the
genus (e.g., D. arenosaxi) and thus the original voucher specimens must be located and
examined.
Dermatocarpon miniatum var. complicatum (Lightf.) Th. Fr. – This species was reported
by Wood (1914). While it is likely that the record refers to D. muhlenbergii, there is a
possibility that they correspond to other members of the genus (e.g., D. arenosaxi) and
thus the original voucher specimens must be located and examined.
Endocarpon hepaticum Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 382) based on
material collected in Bergen by Austin and in the “Blue Mts.” of Sussex by Eckfeldt. We
examined several specimens collected by Austin (NY-414351, NY-414354, NY-414352)
and all of these were referable to Placidium squamulosum.

BARTONIA
Endocarpon miniatum (L.) P. Gaertn., G. Mey. & Scherb. – This taxon was reported
by Britton (1889) and like the reports of Dermatocarpon miniatum, likely refers to
D. muhlenbergii. Nonetheless, the original voucher specimens must be located and
examined.
Endocarpon miniatum var. aquaticum (Hoffm.) Schaer. – This taxon was reported by
Britton (1889) and like the records of Dermatocarpon aquaticum, the report likely refers
to D. luridum but this requires further study.
Endocarpon miniatum var. complicatum (Lightf.) Schaer. – This taxon was reported by
Britton (1889) and like the records of Dermatocarpon miniatum var. complicatum, the
report likely refers to D. muhlenbergii but this requires further study.
Endocarpon pusillum Hedwig – This species was reported by Lendemer (2004), however
the record refers to E. petrolepideum.
Endocarpon rufescens Ach. – Britton (1889: 382) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Sussex. We examined two specimens
collected by Austin and one was referable to Placidium pilosellum (NY-414349) and the
other (NY-1608466) appears to represent the same species, but is glued to a backing and
could not be studied in detail without damaging the material.
Ephebe pubescens (L.) Fr. – Britton (1889: 365) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in the Blue Mountains of Sussex County.
Although the taxon is now recognized as Pseudephebe pubescens (L.) M. Choisy, the
material collected by Austin (NY-507001, NY-507002, NY-507003, NY-507004, NY—
1608336) instead is referable to E. hispidula (Ach.) Horw.
Evernia furfuracea (L.) W. Mann – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 358) based
on material collected by Austin in Bergen on “old trees.” All of the specimens we have
examined (NY-1077201, NY-1077202, NY-1077203, NY-1608271, NY-1608272) were
referable to Pseudevernia consocians.
Glyphis achariana Tuck. – Britton (1889: 379) reported this species based on material
collected by Eckfeldt in Newfield where it was not considered to be common. Records
of G. achariana from North America are treated as G. cicatricosa Ach. (Esslinger 2016),
however we have not reviewed any vouchers originally identified as that taxon and it is
not known to occur as far north as New Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001).
Graphis dendritica (Ach.) Ach. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) and Britton
(1889: 379), the latter based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt
at Atco in Camden County. The species is currently treated as Phaeographis dendritica
(Ach.) Müll. Arg. (Staiger 2002), however the specimens we examined (NY-506735, NY1608448) were instead referable to G. scripta.
Graphis elegans (Borrer ex Sm.) Ach. – Britton (1889: 379) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen. Specimens we have examined at NY (NY-506728,
NY-506736, NY-1608449) were all referable to G. scripta.
“Graphis recta” – This taxon was reported by Thomson (1935), however we have not
examined any specimens originally assigned to this name and the report almost certainly
refers to one of the forms of G. scripta.
Graphis scalpturata Ach. – Britton (1889: 379) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Salem. We have not reviewed any
vouchers originally identified as G. scalpturata, but the reports almost certainly refer to
one of the many forms of G. scripta.
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
41
Gyalecta lutea (Dicks.) Tuck. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 371) based on
material collected by Ellis in Newfield. No specimen assigned to this name could be
located at NY, and although it is possible that species occurs in New Jersey we prefer
to exclude it until a supporting voucher can be located and the identification confirmed.
Gyalideopsis subaequatoriana Lücking & W.R. Buck – Lücking et al. (2007) reported this
species from New Jersey, however the records belong to G. bartramiorum.
Hafellia disciformis (Fr.) Marbach & H. Mayrh. – Lendemer (2004) reported this species
from New Jersey, however the report almost certainly corresponds to Buellia curtisii.
Heppia despreauxii (Mont.) Tuck. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 364) based
on material collected by Eckfeldt in Camden. We have not located the material that was
the original basis of the report, but it almost certainly corresponds to H. adglutinata A.
Massal. (Brodo et al. 2001, Henssen 1994).
Heterothecium pezizoideum (Ach.) Stizenb. – Britton (1889: 376) reported this species
based on material collected by Austin in Bergen, however we have not located the
original material and it is unclear what taxon it corresponds to.
Heterothecium sanguinarium (L.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 376) reported this species based on
material collected in southern New Jersey by Eckfeldt and stated that it was “frequent.”
This taxon is now referred to as Mycoblastius sanguinarius (L.) Norman, however that
is a northern species that has not been found in New Jersey. It is unclear what taxon the
report of H. sanguinarium corresponds to.
Heterothecium tuberculosum (Fée) Flot. – Britton (1889: 376) reported this species based
on material collected in Atlantic County by Eckfeldt. It is a tropical species that is now
treated as Megalospora tuberculosa (Fée) Sipman and does not occur in New Jersey
(Sipman 1983). The report almost certainly refers to M. porphyritis (Harris 1984).
Heterothecium vulpinum (Tuck.) Tuck. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 376)
based on a single collection made by Green on dead wood in Atlantic County. Although
we have not located this specimen, the report almost certainly refers to Brigantiaea
leucoxantha. Also refer to the entry for Lopadium vulpinum in this section.
Lecanora athroocarpa Duby – Britton (1889: 369) reported this species based on corticolous
material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Camden. We have not reviewed
any material originally assigned to this name and it is not presently included on the
North American checklist (Esslinger 2016). The report almost certainly corresponds to
another species of Lecanora.
Lecanora bockii T. Rödig – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood (1914).
It is currently treated as a synonym of Rimularia gibbosa (Ach.) Coppins, Hertel &
Rambold (Esslinger 2016), however we have not reviewed any vouchers of this taxon
from New Jersey. It is possible that the reports refer to R. badioatra, a species that we
report here from New Jersey.
Lecanora cervina Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 369) based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen. It is now typically treated as a form of Acarospora
glaucocarpa (Ach.) Körb., however that species does not occur in New Jersey. We have
not located Austin’s material of L. cervina and thus cannot state what modern species it
corresponds to.
Lecanora elatina Ach. – Britton (1889: 369) reported this species based on material collected
in Camden by Eckfeldt. The species is now treated as Loxospora elatina (Ach.) A. Massal,
a sorediate species with a northern distribution in North America (Brodo et al. 2001).
42
BARTONIA
While the occurrence of this species in New Jersey is possible, we have not reviewed any
specimens originally assigned to this name and it would be unlikely to have occurred so
far south in the region. The report could refer to any number of sorediate or pustulose
taxa including Lecanora thysanophora and Lepra pustulata.
Lecanora fuscata var. rufescens (Ach.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 369) reported this taxon based
on material from “northern New Jersey” collected by Eckfeldt. Although it is now
recognized as a distinct species (Westberg et al. 2011), we have not reviewed any material
of it from New Jersey.
Lecanora gibbosa (Ach.) Nyl. – This taxon was reported by Moldenke (1935) and is now
treated as Circinaria gibbosa (Ach.) A. Nordin, Savi & Tibell (Nordin et al. 2010). While
we have been unable to locate Moldenke’s vouchers, specimens named L. gibbosa from
New Jersey instead belong to other species of Aspicilia, such as A. cinerea (NY-1069558)
and A. laevata (NY-1069567).
Lecanora miculata Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Nearing (1940).
While it is currently recognized as a distinct species (Brodo 1984) we have not reviewed
any vouchers of the taxon from New Jersey.
Lecanora orosthea (Ach.) Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 369) based on
collections made by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Camden. Although the species is
still recognized as distinct, it is a saxicolous sorediate taxon with usnic acid (Zdu czyk
& Kukwa 2014) that does not occur in New Jersey. The records almost certainly refer
to Lecanora strobilina, as was the case for the one specimen we examined at NY (NY1079215).
Lecanora pallescens (L.) Röhl. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 369) based on
collections made by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in unspecified areas of the region. It
was also reported by Wood (1914). Although this taxon is now recognized as Ochrolechia
pallescens (L.) A. Massal. (Kukwa 2011), the name was widely misapplied to nearly all
eastern North American species of Ochrolechia A. Massal. in the past and specimens
identified as L. pallescens could represent any of the members of the genus that occur in
New Jersey.
Lecanora pallida (Schreb.) Rabenh. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914). While it is still recognized as a distinct taxon (Imshaug & Brodo 1966), the name
was widely applied historically to virtually all corticolous species with Lecanora with
densely pruinose apothecia discs. The specimens examined from New Jersey that were
originally referred to L. pallida have all proven to represent L. subpallens.
Lecanora pallida var. cancriformis Tuck. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and as
is the case for L. pallida, almost certainly corresponds to L. subpallens.
Lecanora punicea (Sw.) Ach. – Britton (1889: 369) reported this species based on material
collected by Eckfeldt in Salem. We have not reviewed any material that was originally
assigned to this name, however it was historically applied to many different species of
Haematomma and no member of that genus is known to occur as far north as New
Jersey (Brodo et al. 2008).
Lecanora rubina (Hoffm.) Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 368) based
on material collected by Austin in Sussex and by Eckfeldt in Warren. Reports from
North America are generally considered to refer to Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca (Ach.) Zopf
(Esslinger 2016), however that species does not occur in New Jersey. Although we have
not reviewed any vouchers identified as this taxon, it is very likely that the reports refer
to Rhizoplaca subdiscrepans.
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
43
Lecanora subfusca (L.) Ach. – Britton (1889: 368) reported this species based on unspecified
material and stated that it was “on trunks and rocks; frequent.” The species was also
reported by Hastings (1940). The reports must refer to any number of members of the
L. subfusca group that occur in North America as the name was widely applied to many
different species in the past (see e.g., Brodo 1984).
Lecanora subfusca var. allophana Ach. – Britton (1889: 368) reported this species based on
corticolous material collected by Eckfeldt in Camden. Although it is now recognized as
a distinct species, L. allophana (Ach.) Nyl. (Brodo 1984), that species is not presently
known to occur in New Jersey. Given the location and substrate of the material collected
by Eckfeldt it seems likely that it corresponds to the common L. hybocarpa.
Lecanora subfusca var. distans (Pers.) D. Dietr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889:
368) based on material collected on Chestnut bark at Atco by Eckfeldt. Although now
treated as a synonym of Lecanora populicola (DC.) Duby (Esslinger 2016), that species
does not occur in New Jersey and the report almost certainly corresponds to another
species such as L. hybocarpa.
Lecanora tartarea (L.) Ach. – Britton (1889) and Wood (1914) both reported this species,
which is now recognized as Ochrolechia tartarea (L.) A. Massal. (Kukwa 2011). The
material cited by Britton (1889: 369) is saxicolous and thus the report corresponds to O.
yasudae, which is the most common and widespread saxicolous species in eastern North
America.
Lecanora varia (Hoffm.) Ach. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton
1889, Wood 1914, Moldenke 1935), however the name was historically widely applied
to different species with usnic acid, particularly L. strobilina in eastern North America.
As has been outlined by Printzen (2001), the occurrence of L. varia in North America is
highly doubtful, and thus we exclude it here from the New Jersey checklist.
Lecanora varia var. sepincola (Ach.) Link – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and
Wood (1914) and the reports almost certainly correspond to L. strobilina or L. cupressi.
Lecanora xanthophana Nyl. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 369) based on
saxicolous material from northern New Jersey and was also reported by Wood (1914).
The name was widely misapplied historically to many different species of Acarospora
with yellow thalli (Knudsen & Flakus 2016) and the records from New Jersey refer to A.
tuckerae (Lendemer 2010).
Lecidea enteroleuca Ach. – Britton (1889: 376) reported this species back on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Camden, the latter from both corticolous
and saxicolous substrates. Britton (1889) also included a parenthetical reference of L.
elaeochroma (Ach.) Ach. Given the parenthetical reference and the fact that the original
report was based on material from very different substrates, it is almost certain that the
report referred to more than one Lecidella species as presently delimited.
Lecidea lapicida (Ach.) Ach. – This species was reported by Moldenke (1935) and we have
not located any material originally assigned to the name. Its occurrence in New Jersey is
highly unlikely as the report almost certainly refers to another saxicolous crustose lichen
with a white thallus and black, lecideine apothecia.
Lecidea parasema (Ach.) Ach. – This species was reported by Hastings (1940) and while
we have not located the material that served as the basis of the report, it almost certainly
corresponds to another crustose lichen, potentially a species of Lecidella.
Lecidea russellii Tuck. – This species was reported by Torrey (1933), and while it likely
corresponds to Psora pseudorussellii, the original vouchers should be verified.

BARTONIA
Lecidea sorediza Nyl. – Moldenke (1935) reported this species from New Jersey and while
we have not located the material that served as the basis of the report, it almost certainly
corresponds to another sorediate crustose lichen.
Lepraria incana (L.) Ach. – This taxon was reported by Lendemer (2004) and later by
Lendemer (2006) as L. aff. incana. The New Jersey records belong to L. hodkinsoniana
(Lendemer 2013).
Lepraria lobificans Nyl. – This taxon was reported by Lendemer (2004, 2006) and these
records refer to L. finkii (Lendemer 2013).
“Lepthorapsis derinidis (Ach.) Th. Fr.” – Wood (1914) reported this species, however it is
unclear what taxon it actually refers to.
Leptogium bolacinum (Ach.) Nyl. – Britton (1889: 366) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen “on rocks among mosses.” We have not located
the material that served as the basis of the original report and it is unclear what species
this would correspond to at present. The name is not included on the North American
checklist (Esslinger 2016).
Leptogium lacerum (Sw.) Gray. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914). Following Esslinger (2016) the records almost certainly refer to Scytinium
lichenoides.
Leptogium myochroum (Ehrh.) Nyl. – Britton (1889: 366) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in the Blue Mountains of Sussex
County. The reports almost certainly refer to L. hirsutum.
Leptogium myochroum “var. saturninum (Sm.) Schaer.” – This name was reported by
Britton (1889: 366) based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in
Camden. The report almost certainly refers to L. hirsutum.
Leptogium pulchellum (Ach.) Nyl. – Britton (1889: 366) reported this species based on
material collected in Bergen by Austin and “on old trunks in the forests of Central New
Jersey” by Eckfeldt. Although it is currently recognized as Collema pulchellum Ach.,
all of the specimens we have examined were referable to L. corticola (NY-475267, NY1608348, NY-475271, NY-475269, NY-475268, NY-475266, NY-475265).
Leptogium saturninum (Dicks.) Nyl. – This species was reported by Moldenke (1935),
however it is not known to occur in New Jersey (Stone et al. 2016) and the report almost
certainly refers instead to L. hirsutum.
Leptogium tenuissimum (Hoffm.) Körb. – Britton (1889: 366) reported this species as
being common “on old logs, [in the] forests of New Jersey.” Sierk (1964) did not report
material from New Jersey and we have not located any material that corresponds to this
taxon in its current delimitation.
Leptogium tremelloides (Ach.) Gray – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and
following Esslinger (2016) the records almost certainly refer to L. cyanescens.
Lopadium vulpinum (Tuck.) Zahlbr. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) and is now
treated as Letrouitia vulpina (Tuck.) Hafellner & Bellem. (Hafellner 1981). Nonetheless
no specimens identified as this taxon were seen by us as part of this study, and the genus
is restricted to tropical areas in North America that are much further south than New
Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001, Hafellner 1981).
Melaspilea angulosa Nyl. – Britton (1889: 378) reported this species based on collections
made by Eckfeldt near Camden on cherry trees. This species is not presently included
on the North American Checklist (Esslinger 2016) and we did not review any vouchers
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
45
identified as M. angulosa as part of this study. As such we exclude it from the checklist
here pending further study.
Mycoporum pycnocarpum Nyl. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 380) based
on material collected by Austin in Bergen. The name is now treated as a synonym of M.
compositum (Ach.) R.C. Harris (Harris 1973). However, the material from New Jersey
collected by Austin (NY-414313, N-414314, NY-1608454) is instead referable to M.
pycnocarpoides.
Myriangium duriaei Mont. & Berk. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and is not
included here as it is not a lichen or allied fungus.
Nephroma laevigatum Ach. – Britton (1889: 363) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt at Atco where it was stated to be “frequent.”
Nephroma laevigatum is largely restricted to northern coastal areas in North America
and is not known to occur in New Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001, Wetmore 1960). Further,
the specimens we examined at NY (NY-507057, NY-1608324) that had originally been
named N. laevigatum were both referable to N. helveticum.
Nephroma tomentosum (Hoffm.) Flot. – Britton (1889: 363) reported this species based on
material collected in Bergen. The name N. tomentosum is now treated as a synonym of
N. resupinatum (L.) Ach., however that species is not known to occur in New Jersey
(Brodo et al. 2001, Wetmore 1960) and the specimens we have examined at NY (e.g., NY507058, NY-1608323) belong to N. helveticum.
Ochrolechia parella (L.) A. Massal. – This species was reported by Forman (1998), however
the name was widely applied to many different species of Ochrolechia in the past and O.
parella itself is not known to occur in North America (Esslinger 2016).
Pannaria lanuginosa (Ach.) Körb. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914). Refer to the Crocynia lanuginosa entry in this section for further details.
Pannaria lurida (Mont.) Nyl. – Wood (1914) reported this species, however all of the
specimens we have examined were referable to P. lurida subsp. russellii.
Pannaria molybdaea (Pers.) Tuck. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 364) based
on material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Salem. It was also reported by
Wood (1914). The name is now treated as a synonym of Coccocarpia pellita (Ach.) Müll.
Arg. (Arvidsson & Galloway 1979), however that species is not known to occur in New
Jersey, and the specimen at NY named P. molybdaea is actually C. erythroxyli.
Pannaria molybdaea var. “cronia” – This name was used by Britton (1889) and the report
almost certainly corresponds to Coccocarpia palmicola.
Parmelia borreri (Sm.) Turner – Britton (1889: 360) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen. The species is now treated as Punctelia borreri (Sm.) Krog
(Krog 1982), and is considered to occur in temperate eastern North America (Brodo et
al. 2001). Nonetheless all of the specimens we examined that were originally assigned
to Parmelia borreri (e.g., NY-1077231, NY-1077232, NY-1077233, NY-1077235) and
collected by Austin in northern New Jersey instead belonged to Punctelia rudecta. `
Parmelia conspersa f. imbricata A. Massal. – Moldenke (1934a, 1935) reported this taxon,
however we have not located the vouchers that served as the basis of the reports.
Nonetheless they likely correspond to X. viriduloumbrina.
Parmelia conspurcata (Schaer.) Vain. – This species was reported by Hastings (1940), however
we have not reviewed any vouchers that were originally identified under this name.
Following Esslinger (2016), records would be referable to Melanelixia subargentifera
46
BARTONIA
(Nyl.) Blanco et al., however that species is not mapped as occurring in New Jersey
(Brodo et al. 2001, as Melanelia subargentifera).
Parmelia laevigata (Sm.) Ach. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) as well as by
Britton (1889: 360). The latter report was with an indication of hesitation (“?”) and was
based on material collected by Eckfeldt in Ocean and Monmouth Counties. Parmelia
laevigata is now treated as Hypotrachyna laevigata (Sm.) Hale and is not known to
occur in New Jersey (Lendemer & Allen 2015). Specimens from New Jersey originally
identified as P. laevigata at NY are referable to H. livida (e.g., NY-1077682, NY-1608298)
and it is likely that the historical reports of P. laevigata also refer to that species.
Parmelia olivacea (L.) Ach. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton 1889,
Hastings 1940, Wood 1914) and Britton (1889: 361) stated that it was frequent on oaks.
Although P. olivacea is now treated as Melanohalea olivacea (L.) O. Blanco et al. (Blanco
et al. 2004), the range of that species is not considered to include New Jersey (Brodo et
al. 2001). Also specimens originally identified as P. olivacea at NY (NY-1077747, NY1077746, NY-1608305) all belong to Melanelixia subaurifera and thus it is likely that the
historical reports of P. olivacea also refer to that species.
Parmelia perlata (Huds.) Ach.– This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1913) and is currently treated as Parmotrema perlatum (Huds.) M. Choisy (Hawksworth
2004). Although it is included in the checklist based on a recently collected specimen,
all historical specimens originally named Parmelia perlata that we have examined (NY1077632, NY-1077633, NY-1077634) instead belong to Cetrelia olivetorum.
Parmelia quercina (Willd.) Vain. – Moldenke (1935) reported this species from New Jersey,
however two specimens originally identified as P. quercina (NY-1077693, NY1077690)
from New Jersey both belong to Hypotrachyna livida. While P. quercina is now treated
as Parmelina quercina (Willd.) Hale, the distribution of that species was restricted to
western North America (Brodo et al. 2001, Culberson 1961) and subsequently was
recognized as a distinct taxon under the name Parmelina coleae Argüello & A. Crespo
(Argüello et al. 2007). The earlier report of Parmelia quercina almost certainly refers to
H. livida or another morphologically similar species such as Myelochroa galbina.
Parmelia saxatilis (L.) Ach. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton
1889, Little 1951, Wood 1914), however the most recent treatment of Parmelia s. str.
for eastern North America did not map the species as occurring in New Jersey (Hinds
1998). In fact the majority of historical reports of P. saxatilis from temperate eastern
North America south of New England refer to P. squarrosa, another isidiate species that
was only described in the 1970’s (Hale 1971). Although it is likely that the reports of P.
saxatilis from New Jersey refer to P. squarrosa, specimens at NY originally identified as
P. saxatilis also belonged to other taxa such as Parmelia sulcata (NY-1069376), Punctelia
rudecta (NY-1077237) and even Xanthoparmelia cumberlandia (NY-1077578).
Parmelia stygia (L.) Ach. – Thomson (1943) reported this species from New Jersey, however
a specimen (NY-1077739) collected by him and identified as such is actually referable to
Melanelia culbersonii.
Parmelia tiliacea (Hoffm.) Ach. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Little
(1951), with Britton (1889: 360) noting that it was found on “trunks, in all the forests.”
Parmelia tiliacea is currently recognized as Parmelina tiliacea (Hoffm.) Hale (Hale
1976b, Núñez-Zapata et al. 2015), but nonetheless the species does not occur in North
America (Esslinger 2016). Four specimens from New Jersey originally identified as
Parmelia tiliacea (NY-1077797, NY-1077798, NY-10777999, NY-1608290) all belong to
Myelochroa galbina and it is likely that the historical reports also refer to that species.

47
Peltigera aphthosa (L.) Willd. – Britton (1889: 363) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen. A specimen at NY collected by Austin (NY-1608329) and
identified as P. aphthosa is referable to P. leucophlebia (Nyl.) Gyeln., and thus the report
almost certains refers to that species.
Peltigera canina (L.) Hoffm. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton 1889,
Hastings 1940, Wood 1914). While Brodo et al. (2001) mapped the range of the species
as including New Jersey, all of the specimens we have examined to date represent other
Peltigera species (P. neckeri, NY-507031; P. praetextata, NY-507033, NY-507036, NY507044, NY-507046, NY-507034, NY-507035, NY-507037, NY-507045; P. rufescens,
NY-507055).
Peltigera polydactylon (Necker) Hoffm. – This species was reported by multiple authors
(Britton 1889: 363) based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Sussex.
However, all of the specimens we have examined to date represent other Peltigera species
(P. elisabethae, NY-507016; P. neckeri, NY-507032, NY-507030; P. neopolydactyla, NY507023; P. praetextata, NY-507038; P. rufescens, NY-507052, NY-507053, NY-507054).
Peltigera subcanina Gyeln. – This taxon was reported by Moldenke (1935) and could
correspond to any one of several Peltigera species.
Peltigera venosa (L.) Hoffm. – Britton (1889: 363) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Warren. We have not located the original
material that served as the basis of this report and it seems to be out of range for New
Jersey (see e.g., Brodo et al. 2001).
Pertusaria communis DC. – Multiple authors reported this species from New Jersey
(Britton 1889, Thomson 1935, Torrey 1933a, Wood 1914) and Britton (1889: 370) noted
that it was “on various trunks and on rocks; frequent.” Pertusaria communis is a name
that was widely misapplied historically to many different Pertusaria species in eastern
North America and as such the records could represent any number of taxa as currently
delimited.
“Pertusaria lavata” – Moldenke (1934a, 1935) used this name, however we have not located
any supporting vouchers and are unsure what taxon the report actually refers to. Perhaps
it was a lapsus for Pertusaria velata.
Pertusaria leioplaca DC. – Britton (1889: 370) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Camden. While the species is still
recognized, the name was widely misapplied historically to many different species of
Pertusaria. This is illustrated by the fact that material assigned to this name by Austin
refers to P. paratuberculifera (NY-1069269, NY1069271) and P. texana (NY-1069466)
while a specimen collected by Green at Atco is referable to P. subpertusa (NY-1069462).
Pertusaria multipuncta (Turner) Nyl. – Britton (1889: 370) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt at Atco. Although now recognized
as Lepra multipuncta (Turner) Hafellner (Hafellner & Türk 2016), this species does not
occur in North America (Esslinger 2016) and historical reports could potentially refer
to any species now treated in Lepra. Two specimens at NY (NY-1069239, NY-1069240)
collected by Austin and originally identified as P. multipuncta were both referable to L.
amara.
Pertusaria trachythallina Erichsen – This species was reported by Harris (1985), however
the supporting vouchers were either Lepra multipunctoides (NY-1069467, NY-1069468)
or L. pustulata (NY-1069469). Although we have not reexamined the report by Lendemer
(2006), it was likely also based on a misidentification of one of the aforementioned taxa.
48
BARTONIA
Pertusaria xanthodes Müll. Arg. – This species was reported by Lendemer (2004), however
all of the specimens that were assigned to P. xanthodes from New Jersey are here treated
as P. pustulata. The difficulties in delimiting P. pustulata and P. xanthodes were outlined
by Dibben (1980) and based on our study it is simplest to refer all the material from the
region to a single taxon.
Phaeophyscia imbricata (Vain.) Essl. – This species was reported by Kiviat and MacDonald
(2002), and reports from North America are now treated as P. squarrosa.
Physcia astroidea Nyl. – Britton (1889: 361) reported this species based on material collected
on Populus by Eckfeldt in Atlantic County. We have not reviewed any specimens that
were originally identified as this species at NY. While Esslinger (2016) considers records
of P. astroidea to refer to P. clementei (Sm.) Lynge, that species is very rare and not
known to occur in New Jersey.
Physcia caesia (Hoffm.) Hampe ex Fürnr. – Torrey (1933) reported this species from New
Jersey, however we have not reviewed any specimens originally identified as P. caesia at
NY. The species was not mapped as occurring in New Jersey by Brodo et al. (2001) and
thus its occurrence seems unlikely.
Physcia comosa Nyl. – Britton (1889: 361) reported this species based on material collected
in Ocean County by Austin and Camden by Eckfeldt. He also included a parenthetical
reference to P. speciosa var. galactophylla (Tuck.) Tuck. Physcia comosa is now treated as
Heterodermia comosa (Eschw.) Follmann & Redón, but is a tropical species that does not
occur in New Jersey (Mongkolsuk et al. 2015). While we did not locate any specimens
originally identified as P. comosa, we did locate a specimen (NY-1608307) collected by
Austin in the “Pine Barrens” that was referable to H. echinata.
Physcia endococcina (Körb.) Nyl. – Hastings (1940) reported this species and while it is
presently treated as Phaeophyscia endococcina (Körb.) Moberg (Esslinger 2016), the report
almost certainly refers to the much more common sorediate species P. rubropulchra.
We have not located correctly identified material of any of the esorediate species of
Phaeophyscia that have an orange or red pigmented medulla (e.g., P. endococcina, P.
endococcinodes (Poelt) Essl., P.erythrocardia (Tuck.) Essl.).
Physcia hispida (Schreb.) Frege – Britton (1889: 361) reported this species based on material
collected by Eckfeldt in Bergen. We have not examined the original material, however it
could represent any one of several species of Heterodermia or Phaeophyscia. A specimen
identified as P. stellaris var. hispida (Schreb.) Nyl. and collected by Austin (NY-1608313)
is H. speciosa while a specimen identified as P. hispida and collected by Nearing in Sussex
County (NY-1079054) is Phaeophyscia hirsuta.
Physcia lithotea (Ach.) Nyl. – Torrey (1933) reported this species, however we have not
located the original material that served as the basis of the report and it is unclear what
taxon it would refer to.
Physcia obscura (Ehrh.) Hampe ex Fürnr. – This species was reported by many authors
(Britton 1889, Hastings 1940, Moldenke 1935, Torrey 1933, Wood 1914), however the
name was widely misapplied to different Physciaceae in the past and it is unclear what
taxa the historical reports refer to. This is illustrated by the fact that historical specimens
from New Jersey originally assigned to P. obscura are now referable to Hyperphyscia
syncolla (NY-1078745), Phaeophyscia adiastola (NY-1079053), Phaeophyscia ciliata (NY1079057), Phaeophyscia hirtella (NY-1079059, NY-1079060) and Physcia millegrana
(NY-1079316).
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
49
Physcia pulverulenta (Schreb.) Hampe ex Fürnr. – This species was reported by Britton
(1889) and Wood (1914), however the name was widely misapplied to different species of
Physconia in the past. All of the specimens at NY originally assigned to this name (NY1079429, NY-1079431, NY-1079432, NY-1079433) represent Physconia leucoleiptes. It
is likely that the earlier reports refer only to P. leucoleiptes, but it is possible that other
species were also included.
Physcia tribacia (Ach.) Nyl. – This species was reported by multiple authors (Britton 1889,
Hastings 1940, Moldenke 1935, Torrey 1933), however the reports almost certainly all
refer to P. millegrana. Indeed many of the historical specimens of P. millegrana at NY
were originally assigned to P. tribacia or P. stellaris var. tribacia (Ach.) Tuck. (e.g., NY107910, NY-1079312, NY-1079313, NY-1079314, NY-1079315).
Physma luridum (Mont.) Tuck. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 364) based on
material collected by Austin at unspecific locations, and by Eckfeldt in Camden County
at Atco as well as in Gloucester County at Newfield. The reports refer to Pannaria lurida
subsp. russellii, and readers should refer to the entry for P. lurida in the present section.
Placodium aurantiacum (Lightf.) Anzi – Britton (1889: 367) reported this species from
unspecified locations, stating that it was “on rocks and cedars; common.” Considering
that the report was derived from material collected from both corticolous and saxicolous
substrates, it is likely that it included multiple species of Caloplaca s.l. as presently
delimited.
Placodium cinnabarinum (Ach.) Nyl. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen on calcareous rocks, and by Eckfeldt in Warren.
Refer to the entry in this section for Caloplaca cinnabarina.
Placodium citrinum (Hoffm.) Hepp – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 367) as
common on old building and mortar based on collections made by Eckfeldt. It is now
treated as Caloplaca citrina, however the identity of material assigned to that name from
New Jersey remains uncertain (see the entry for C. citrina in this section).
Placodium ferrugineum (Huds.) Hepp – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 367)
based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Camden. We did not
review any specimens originally referred to this name, and the one such specimen
collected by Austin (NY-1608355) is missing from its mounted label.
Placodium ferrugineum var. pollinii (A. Massal.) Hepp – Britton (1889: 367) reported this
taxon based on material collected by Eckfeldt on cedars in Camden. Although it is now
treated as Caloplaca pollinii (A. Massal.) Jatta, we have refrained from including the
species on the checklist until the original material can be examined and confirmed.
“Pseudophyscia comosa (Eschw.) Nyl.” – This taxon was reported by Wood (1914) and
readers should refer to the entry for Physcia comosa in this section for further information.
Pyrenula glabrata (Ach.) A. Massal. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 383)
based on material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt at Newfield, although
the latter was likely collected by Ellis and sent to Eckfeldt for determination. One
specimen we examined (NY-414397) was referable to P. pseudobufonia, however it is
likely that the material that served as the basis for the original report was comprised of
multiple species as presently defined.
Pyrenula hyalospora (Nyl.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 383) reported this taxon based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Salem. We examined a specimen
collected by Austin (NY-1608473), however the specimen was sterile (lacking hymenia
and ascospores) and appeared to represent a non-lichenized pyrenocarpous fungus.

BARTONIA
Pyrenula lactea (A. Massal.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 383) reported this taxon based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt at Atco in Camden County and
Newfield in Gloucester County. We have not located the material that served as the basis
of the report and it is unclear what taxon it refers to.
Pyrenula nitida (Weigel) Ach. – Britton (1889: 383) reported this species based on material
collected in Bergen by Austin. The majority of specimens originally assigned to this
name are actually referable to P. pseudobufonia, however at least one (NY0-506654) is
P. punctella.
Pyrenula pachycheila Tuck. – Britton (1889: 384) reported this species based on material
collected by Eckfeldt at Newfield in Gloucester County. We have not examined any
specimens originally assigned to this name and it is unclear what taxon it would refer to.
Pyrenula thelena (Ach.) Trevis. – Britton (1889: 384) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Newfield on the bark of cherry trees. The
taxon is now referred to as Mycomicrothelia thelena (Ach.) D. Hawksw. (Hawksworth
1985) but we did not locate any specimens filed under that name at NY. It is unclear what
taxon this report corresponds to.
Pyxine cocoes (Sw.) Nyl. – This species was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood (1914)
as occurring in New Jersey. However, P. cocoes is a tropical species whose northern
distributional limit is quite far south of New Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001). The reports
could refer to P. subcinerea, however the one specimen identified as P. cocoes that we
examined was Phaeophyscia sciastra (NY-1079287).
Ramalina calicaris (L.) Fr. – Britton (1889: 357) reported this species from unspecified
locations, stating that it was “on oaks; common.” Although this species is still listed on
the North American checklist (Esslinger 2016), it was widely misapplied in the past in
eastern North America to other species of Ramalina. It is unclear what taxon the report
would have referred to, but many specimens we examined were R. americana.
Ramalina calicaris var. canaliculata Fr. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 357)
from Closter in Bergen County and by Wood (1914). Reports of this name from North
America are considered to apply to R. caliciaris (Esslinger 2016), however as is outlined
in the entry for that name in this section it is unclear what species the reports refer to.
Ramalina calicaris var. farinacea (L.) Rabenh. – Britton (1889: 357) reported this taxon
based on saxicolous material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Warren.
Although it is now treated as R. farinacea (L.) Ach., and that species occurs in New
Jersey, the report refers to both R. intermedia (NY-1077803, NY-1077804, NY-1077805)
and R. petrina (NY-1077807, NY-1077808).
Ramalina calicaris var. fastigiata (Pers.) Fr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1899) and
could refer to R. americana and/or R. culbersoniorum.
Ramalina calicaris var. fraxinea (L.) Mont. – Britton (1889: 357) reported this species as being
“frequent” occurring “on old fences and trunks.” It was also reported by Torrey (1933)
from Wawayanda. This name was widely misapplied historically to various apotheciate
and esorediate species of Ramalina, and the material we examined correspond to R.
americana (NY-1077801).
Ramalina rigida Ach. – Britton (1889: 357) reported this species as being common on pines
and oaks in the Pine Barrens of southern New Jersey. It was also reported by Wood
(1914). We have not located any of the material that served as the basis of this report, but
it likely corresponds to a R. culbersoniorum and/or R. americana.
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
51
Rhizocarpon confervoides DC. – This species was reported by Moldenke (1935), however
no voucher specimens originally identified under the name were located at NY. The
name is not presently included on the North American Checklist (Esslinger 2016) as an
accepted species, or as a synonym, and thus we exclude it here.
Rhizocarpon obscuratum (Ach.) A. Massal. – This species was reported by Moldenke (1935),
however no vouchers identified under the name and associated with that study were
found at NY. As has been discussed in detail by Fryday (2000), the name R. obscuratum
has been widely misapplied in the past and in eastern North America most records refer
to R. reductum. The latter species was reported from New Jersey by Lendemer (2006)
and is included in the checklist here.
Rhizocarpon petraeum (Wulfen) A. Massal. – This species was reported by Moldenke
(1935), however no vouchers identified under the name and associated with that study
were found at NY. The species was also reported by Britton (1889: 377) under the names
Buellia petraea (Wulfen) Branth & Rostr. based on material collected by Britton in
northern New Jersey. The specimens collected by Britton that we have examined at NY
all refer to R. grande (e.g., NY-1077823, NY-1077824). One specimen (NY-1077826)
identified as R. petraeum and collected by Nearing at Beech Mountain in 1942 is referable
to R. reductum while another (NY-1077822) collected by Nearing at Charlotteburg in
1937 is referable to R. grande.
Rinodina constans (Nyl.) Tuck. – This species was reported by Britton (1889: 370) based
on collections made by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Camden. Although the taxon
is now treated as Maronea constans (Nyl.) Hepp, the vast majority of North American
records previously assigned to that species actually refer to M. polyphaea (Harris 2006).
Based on this, and the fact that four specimens collected by Austin (NY-01069403, NY01069404, NY-01069405, NY-01608372) belong to M. polyphaea, we here exclude M.
constans from New Jersey.
Rinodina sophodes (Ach.) A. Massal. – Britton (1889: 370) reported this species because of
collections made by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Sussex. Although this taxon
is recognized as a distinct species, it was widely misapplied to numerous different
Rinodina species in the past. This is evidenced by the fact that specimens collected by
Austin represent R. cana (NY-1079456), R. maculans (NY-1079452, NY-1079453) and
R. subminuta (NY-1079458). The species is here excluded from the New Jersey checklist.
Rinodina sophodes var. confragosa (Ach.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 370) reported this species
based on collections made by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Warren. Two
collections made by Austin in New Jersey at NY represent R. destituta (NY-1107349)
and R. tephraspis (NY-1079465). An additional collection made by Austin (NY-1068369)
was originally named R. sophodes var. confragosa, however the specimen itself is missing
from the collection and its identification could not be confirmed. Although this taxon
is now treated as R. confragosa (Ach.) Körber (Sheard 2010) and reported from North
America (Esslinger 2016), we exclude it from the New Jersey checklist.
Sagedia lactea Körb. – Britton (1889: 382) reported this species based on material collected
by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Camden on the branches of hickory. We have not
located the material that served as the basis of the report and it is unclear what taxon it
refers to.
Sagedia oxyspora (Nyl.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 383) reported this species based on material
collected in Bergen by Austin and at Newfield in Gloucester County by Eckfeldt
52
BARTONIA
(likely actually collected by Ellis and sent to Eckfeldt). It was reported as occurring on
“poplar and white birch,” substrates that would support the identity of the material as
Leptorhaphis epidermidis (Ach.) Th. Fr., which is currently treated as the correct name
for S. oxyspora (Esslinger 2016). Nonetheless the specimens we examined (NY-1076102,
NY-1076103) were actually referable to Julella fallaciosa.
Schismatomma pericleum (Ach.) Branth & Rostr. – This species was reported by Lendemer
(2006) and the identification was subsequently revised to S. graphidioides.
Stereocaulon denudatum Flörke – Britton (1889: 371) reported this species based on material
collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Sussex. It was also reported by Wood
(1914). The species is now treated as S. vesuvianum Pers. (Esslinger 2016), however it is
unclear what species the report refers to.
Stereocaulon denudatum var. pulvinatum (Rabenh.) Flot. – Moldenke (1935) reported this
taxon from New Jersey, however we have not located the original material that served as
the basis of the report and it is unclear what species it refers to.
Stereocaulon paschale (L.) Hoffm. – Britton (1889: 371) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and Eckfeldt in Warren. It was also reported
by Wood (1914). The species was not mapped as occurring in New Jersey by Brodo et
al. (2001), and several specimens at NY are referable to S. saxatile (NY-1077273, NY1077279, NY-1077280, NY-1077281).
Sticta amplissima (Scop.) Rabenh. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914). Although still recognized as a distinct species, eastern North American reports
of S. amplissima correspond to Lobaria quercizans.
Sticta crocata (L.) Ach. – Britton (1889: 362) reported this species based on material collected
by Austin in Bergen, Eckfeldt in Newfeld (where it was stated to be “frequent”), and
Peters at Mays Landing. The taxon is now treated as Pseudocyphellaria crocata (L.) Vain.,
but recent research has shown that eastern North American material comprises multiple
taxa (Lücking et al. 2017).
Teloschistes lychneus (Ach.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 360) reported this species based on
material collected by Austin in Bergen and by Eckfeldt in Camden. The name is now
treated as a synonym of Polycauliona candelaria (L.) Frödén, Arup & Søchting (Esslinger
2016), however that species does not occur in eastern North America (Lindblom 1997).
It is unclear what species the report refers to as we have not located the original material.
Teloschistes polycarpus (Hoffm.) Tuck. – Britton (1889: 360) reported this species based on
material collected by Eckfeldt in Camden. Although it is now treated as Polycauliona
polycarpa (Hoffm.) Frödén, Arup & Søchting (Esslinger 2016), that species does not
occur in New Jersey (Lindblom 1997). We have not located the material that served as
the basis of the original report, but it likely corresponds to Xanthomendoza hasseana
(Räsänen) Søchting, Kärnefelt & S.Y. Kondr.
Trypethelium cruentum Mont. – This species is now treated as Pyrenula cruenta (Mont.)
Vain. (Harris 1989) and was reported by Britton (1889: 382) based on material collected
by Eckfeldt in Salem. It was also reported by Wood (1914). No specimens from New
Jersey that were originally identified as this taxon were located at NY or PH. While
its occurrence in the region is possible given the number of subtropical species with
northern range limits in southern New Jersey, the absence of vouchers and the fact it has
not been subsequently collected lead us to exclude it until a voucher can be located and
its identity confirmed.
NEW JERSEY LICHENS
53
Umbilicaria pustulata (L.) Hoffm. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914). Although still recognized as a distinct European species, North American reports
correspond to other taxa and most reports from the eastern United States are Lasallia
papulosa.
Usnea barbata (L.) F.H. Wigg. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and Wood
(1914), however the records could represent any number of Usnea species as U. barbata
was historically applied to many different taxa in North America (Esslinger 2016).
Usnea barbata var. florida (L.) Fr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889), however the
species does not occur in New Jersey and the records could refer to either U. endochrysea
or U. strigosa.
Usnea barbata var. dasopoga (Ach.) Ach. – This taxon was reported by Wood (1914), and
while it is currently recognized as U. dasopoga Ach., that species is not known to occur
in New Jersey and the records could represent any number of Usnea species.
Usnea barbata var. hirta (L.) Fr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 359) as being
common in “Pine woods.” While it is now recognized as U. hirta (L.) F.H. Wigg., the
species is not known to occur in New Jersey and the historical reports could refer to
multiple short shrubby species including U. mutabilis.
Usnea barbata var. plicata (L.) Fr. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889: 359) based on
Eckfeldt collections from Camden. As is the case of several other Usnea names included
here, U. barbata var. plicata was widely applied historically to multiple species with
pendant thalli and it is unclear which taxa this report would correspond to today.
Usnea barbata var. rubiginea Michx. – This taxon was reported by Britton (1889) and is
now treated as U. strigosa subsp. rubiginea (Michx.) I. Tav., or more frequently is simply
treated as a synonym of U. strigosa. The report by Britton, however, almost certainly
refers to U. rubicunda.
Usnea longissima Ach. – This taxon was reported by Wood (1914), however it does not
occur in New Jersey (Brodo et al. 2001). The report could refer to any of the pendant
Usnea species that occur in the region, including either U. merrillii or U. trichodea.
Verrucaria fuscella (Turner) Winch – Britton (1889: 383) reported this species based on
material collected on rocks in Sussex by Eckfeldt. We have included this name in the list
of excluded species because the taxonomy of saxicolous Verrucaria from non-calcareous
rocks in eastern North America is extremely poorly understood and the vouchers have
not been reexamined.
Verrucaria nigrescens “var. eleochrea Tuck.” – Britton (1889: 383) reported this name based
on material collected on shale by Eckfeldt in Sussex. We have included this name in
the list of excluded species because the taxonomy of saxicolous Verrucaria from noncalcareous rocks in eastern North America is extremely poorly understood and the
vouchers have not been reexamined.
Verrucaria rupestris Schrad. – Britton (1889: 383) reported this taxon based on material
collected by Eckfeldt on rocks in Warren, and it was also reported by Moldenke (1935).
We have included this name in the list of excluded species because the taxonomy of
saxicolous Verrucaria from non-calcareous rocks in eastern North America is extremely
poorly understood and the vouchers have not been reexamined.
Verrucaria virens Deakin – Britton (1889: 383) reported this species from the same locality
as V. rupestris. We have included this name in the list of excluded species because the
taxonomy of saxicolous Verrucaria from non-calcareous rocks in eastern North America
is extremely poorly understood and the vouchers have not been reexamined.
54
BARTONIA
Xanthoria fulva (Hoffm.) Poelt & Petut. – This species was reported by Lendemer (2004)
but the material from New Jersey is now treated as Xanthomendoza weberi (Knudsen
et al. 2011).
Xanthoria polycarpa (Hoffm.) Th. Fr. – This species was reported by Wood (1914) and the
report likely corresponds to Xanthomendoza hasseana. Refer to the entry for Teloschistes
polycarpus in this section for additional details.
Xylographa parallela (Ach.) Fr. – This species was reported by Wood (1914), however the
two specimens we examined represented other species of Xylographa.
