Worley's Map of Collection Records for Anoectangium aestivum


Ian Worley

Southeastern Alaska Distribution: Previously known only from Dyea Creek (Harvill, 1947).
Habitat: On dry, sunny rocks and soil, also on trees.
Comments: The Saginaw Bay collection is only the third from Alaska. It was in abundance and fertile, festooning limestone cliffs and boulders. With the exception of the curious report from Attu Island in the Aleutians this species is generally restricted to Mediterranean climates, or (in southeastern Alaska) dry, edaphically and climatically, environments.


Worley's map doesn't seem to fit with the text, so this may not be in the area.
