Four new sorediate species in the Hypogymnia austerodes group (lichens) from northwestern North America, with notes on thallus morphology
The Hypogymnia austerodes group is an assemblage of mostly boreal and arctic-alpine lichens traditionally comprising three wide-ranging sorediate and/or isidiate species, H. austerodes, H. bitteri and H. subobscura. Here we describe four additional members of this group – H. dichroma sp. nov., H. pr...
