Discovery of Hypogymnia pulverata on the Gaspésie Peninsula in eastern Canada

Abstract

Previous collections are known from Alaska, Oregon, and near the coast of Hudson Bay in northwestern Québec.Here we report it from Mont Olivine and along the Riviére Sainte-Anne in Parc national de la Gaspésie, Québec. These occurrences are approximately 1,000 km southeast of the Hudson Bay locality, and extend the known range of H. pulverata to the Atlantic Coastal Region of eastern North America.
