Lepraria lanata Tønsberg and L. salazinica Tønsberg are described as new from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park, North Carolina and Tennessee, U.S.A. Lepraria lanata has exceptionally large consoredia, produces protocetraric and angardianic/roccellic acids and occurs on rock walls. It is easily recognized even in the field. Lepraria salazinica forms a thin, grayish white cover of soredia and consoredia on overhanging rock surfaces and produces atranorin, salazinic acid, and angardianic/roccellic acid.
