Phytogeography and ecology of the lichen family Umbilicariaceae in southwestern Alberta
Eleven species of the genera Omphalodiscus and Umbilicaria in the lichen family Umbilicariaceae are reported from a 13 400-km 2 area in the mountains and foothills of southwestern Alberta. Previous reports of Umbilicaria arctica and U. cylindrica are, or are felt to be, in error. Umbilicaria cinereo...
