Southeastern Alaska Distribution: Reported by Persson (1946) from Ward Lake as new to Alaska. However, "As the material is very scanty and badly developed, the record must be regarded as somewhat doubtful." (Persson, 1952a).
Habitat: On logs, trees and rocks. (Fry and Clark, 1937-47)
Comments: The record by Persson is provisionally included in the flora of Alaska.
