Galanina, I.A./ Yakovchenko, L.S./ Tsarenko, N.A./ Spribille, T. 2011: Notes on Rinodina excrescens in the Russian Far East (Physciaceae, lichenized Ascomycota). - Herzogia24: 59-64. [RLL Suppl.] Keywords: ASIA/ BIOGEOGRAPHY/ DISJUNCTION/ RANGE EXTENSION
Abstract: Rinodina excrescens was described from western Siberia by Vainio but has since been reported mainly from eastern North America, and in south-central and southern Europe, where it is rare. We report the rediscovery of this species in Russia from a string of new records in the Russian Far East from Sakhalin Island to the Mongolian border. Current data suggest that R. excrescens has a primarily eastern North American-east Asian distribution with rare outliers elsewhere.
