Memoirs of the Torrey Botanical Society Volume 28
The Delmarva Peninsula, situated between the Delaware and Chesapeake Bays, is a region of global biological importance. This volume is the first comprehensive lichen flora presented in modern times for eastern North America and the only treatment of the macro- and micro-lichens in the mid-Atlantic region. The authors, James Lendemer and Nastassja Noell, include the 299 species of lichens documented from Delmarva, presented in a current phylogenetic arrangement, providing identification keys, descriptions, maps of species distributions, a color image for nearly all those treated, along with proposed conservation status. Most of the species covered occur elsewhere on the Atlantic Coast, from Massachusetts to Virginia, and the information on natural history will be valuable to anyone interested in the changing landscape of Delmarva, and the organisms inhabiting the Peninsula and surrounds.
Delmarva Lichens is 350 pages, including distribution maps and 36 color plates.
