Usnea barbata | Several collections originally identified as other species were examined and determined to be this species as part of the work of Dillman et. al (2012). Collections spanned much of the region, though none from the northern gulf coast, nor northern outer islands. | |
Usnea cavernosa | Reported from Haines in 1998 checklist. Two records in National Lichens and Air Quality database. One from from near Juneau, the other from Prince of Wales Island.
No collections in PacNW herbaria database from region. (Collections mostly from coastal Oregon and California, and the Rocky mountains. Also a small number from extreme SW BC and from interior BC rockies)
| |
Usnea chaetophora | Records in National Lichen and Air Quality database mostly from southern part of the region, but also at least a couple from near Juneau. No collections from region in PacNW herbaria database | |
Usnea cornuta | Reported from near Prince of Wales Island in 1998 checklist. A handful of collections from two locations in southern part of the region in PacNW herbaria database. No records in NLaAQ DB.
Collections examined as part of the work in Dillman et. al (2012) from the southern half of the region.
| |
Usnea cylindrica | Reported in Glacier Bay checklist (as Usnea cf. cylindrica). Dillman et. al (2012) examined collections of this species from Coronation Island, Misty Fiords, Craig Cemetery Island, and the Stikine River mouth. | |
Usnea dasypoga | Records from throughout much of the region, except the northern Gulf Coast.
Described as probably the most common species of Usnea in Southeast Alaska in Dillman et. al (2012). Collections examined from across much of the region. Formerly U. filipendula
| |
Usnea fibrillosa | Apparently reported from Totem Park, but no other records. Maybe a taxonomic issue (should be Usnea filipendula?) | |
Usnea flavocardia | Records in NLaAQ DB from the far southern portion of the region (found by searching under the synonym, Usnea wirthii). Collections in PacNW herbaria database mostly from Washington, Oregon and Southwest BC. Also a couple from Haida Gwaii and mainland east of there.
Dillman, et al. (2012) indicates this is a common species in the region. Collections were examined from as far north as Kruzof Island.
| |
Usnea fragilescens | Records in NLaAQ DB primarily from southern half of the region, but also Excursion Inlet and Cape Fanshaw.
Dillman, et. al. (2012) describes this as a quite frequent taxon in the region with four chemotypes. Collections examined for this work from at least as far north as Sitka.
| |
Usnea glabrata | A single record in NLaAQ DB from Warren Island. Older report from Sitka mentioned in 1998 checklist.
Dillman, et al. (2012) indicate only a single specimen was found to confirm the occurrence of this species in the region (noting prior reports should be re-examined to determine/confirm ID). From Misty Fiords.
| |
Usnea glabrescens | A single record listed in NLaAQ DB from the southern end of Gravina Island in southern part of the region. Reported from Sitka in the 1998 checklist. Dillman et. al (2012) indicate var. 'fulvoreagens' appears to be rare in Alaska, and in material they reviewed was only found once from Excursion Inlet. (Is this only for the variety, or is it true also of the species?) | |
Usnea hirta | A single record in NLaAQ DB from Misty Fjords. Report mentioned from Sitka in 1998 checklist.
| |
Usnea lapponica | Records from Juneau in NLaAQ DB and near Skagway in PacNW herbaria database (+ Klondike National Park lichen checklist). Also reported from Sitka in 1998 checklist.
| |
Usnea longissima | Collections and records from across the region. Treated in Usnea in the Pacific Northwest by D. F. Stone | |
Usnea pacificana | Collections from Sitka area, Kuiu Island, and Misty Fiords were examined as part of the work of Dillman et. al (2012). | |
Usnea scabrata | Scattered reports from across much of the region (other than northern Gulf Coast and northern Lynn Canal) in NLaAQ DB. Included on Klondike NP checklist.
| |
Usnea silesiaca | In Dillman et. al (2012) this is described as a species which is not uncommon in Southeast Alaska. Collections were verified as this species mostly from the southern half of the region, but also from Excursion Inlet. | |
Usnea subfloridana | Two records in NLaAQ DB, one from Tebenkof, the other from the southern Chilkat Peninsula.
Dillman, et. al (2012) note this species has been previously reported, but considerable revisionary work on specimens and taxonomy has cast doubt on those reports. Two collections confirmed as this species from Excursion Inlet and Misty Fiords.
| |
Usnea substerilis | Records in NLaAQ DB mostly from southern half of the region, but also Juneau and Excursion Inlet. Reported from Juneau and Haines in the 1998 checklist, but no collections from region in PacNW herbaria database. Included on Klondike NP checklist. | |
Usnea trichodea | Reddish central cord should distinguish this lichen.
Included in 1998 Checklist for Southeast Alaska, but no collections in PacNW herbarium database, nor in NLaAQ DB. (Only three records in the entirety of western North America.) The map in Brodo has this species occurring in the southeastern part of the United States. Not in SEAK
