Anderson, F. 2012: Reports of Leptogium hibernicum from the southern Appalachian Mountains, a major range extension for the species in North America. - Opuscula Philolichenum 11: 135-138. [RLL List # 227 / Rec.# 33844]
Abstract: Leptogium hibernicum was first recorded in North America in 2009 from near Hectanooga in southwestern Nova Scotia, Canada, and the identification was confirmed by P.M.Jørgensen. A 2011 collection from Great Smoky Mountain National Park appeared to be a second occurrence. Subsequently, specimens identified as Leptogium laceroides from the southern Appalachian Mountains were reviewed and compared to the Nova Scotia material of L. hibernicum. The comparison of external morphology and thallus sections in water revealed two earlier collections of L. hibernicum from the southern Appalachians, thereby extending its known range on the continent.
