Groner U and Dietrich M. 1996. Hypotrachyna taylorensis (Parmeliaceae) a European Species in the New World. The Bryologist. 99(4):457-459
ABSTRACT: Hypotrachyna taylorensis (Mitch.) Hale and H. rockii (Zahlbr.) Hale are morphologically similar species with identical secondary substances, but so far as known these species have different distributions. Several thalli of H. taylorensis have been found in collections originally identified as H. rockii from North, Central, and South America. The lichen called H. rockii actually includes two species, one corresponding to H. rockii sensu stricto and the other to H. taylorensis. Hypotrachyna taylorensis usually has coarsely granular to schizidiate soredia developed on and wrinkles, whereas the soralia of H. rockii are mainly subapical, subcapitate, and granular to farinose.
