BACIDIA De Not.

Bacidia sp. #1 [sensu Harris (1977)] - as pointed out by image of carat Harris (1995a), these reports are tentatively referred to Bacidina egenula.

Bacidia bagliettoana (A. Massal. & De Not.) Jatta Ladd et al. (1994): Atchison Co. Note: this species was also cited from Saline Co. by Gier & Jones (1954) [as B. muscorum] and Gier & Kendrick (1972). The specimen on which these reports are based, Jones 16 (MCJ), is Bacidina egenula.

Bacidia "chlorococcea" [image of carat Scoliciosporum chlorococcum (Stenh.) Vezda] cited from Newton Co. by Gier & Kendrick (1972). This report is apparently based on a packet at MCJ, #10973, but this packet is empty!

Bacidia granosa (Tuck.) Zahlbr. image of caratLadd (1996): Phelps Co. image of caratTuckerman (1872) [as Lecidea granosa]. image of caratWetmore (1992a): Taney Co. [as B. trachona].

Bacidia polychroa (Th. Fr.) Körb. image of caratLadd (1996): Phelps Co. image of caratLadd et al. (1994): Newton and Phelps cos. See comments under B. rubella.

Bacidia rubella (Hoffm.) A. Massal. image of caratFink (1900): Emma [as Biatora rubella]. image of caratFink (1935) [as Bacidia luteola]. image of caratGier & Jones (1954): literature report [as Bacidia luteola]. image of caratGier & Kendrick (1972): literature report. image of caratWetmore (1992a): Taney Co. Note: this species is also cited from Newton Co. by Wetmore (1992b), probably based on Wetmore 69245 (NY), which is B. polychroa. The Wetmore (1992a) report from Taney Co. may also referable to B. polychroa, which appears to be the common element in this group in Missouri.

Bacidia schweinitzii (Fr. ex E. Michener) A. Schneid. image of caratFink (1919). image of caratGier & Kendrick (1972): literature report.

Bacidia suffusa (Fr.) A. Schneid. image of caratWetmore (1992a): Taney Co.

Bacidia trachona - local reports are referable to Bacidia granosa.

BACIDINA Vezda

Bacidina egenula (Nyl.) Vezda image of caratLadd (1993a): St. Louis Co. [as Bacidia sp. #1]. image of caratLadd (1996): Phelps Co. See Bacidia bagliettoana.

Biatora decipiens image of carat Psora decipiens

Biatora rubella image of carat Bacidia rubella; local reports may be referable to Bacidia polychroa.

Biatora rufonigra image of carat Psorula rufonigra

Biatora russellii image of carat Psora russellii; see Psora pseudorussellii.

Biatorella fossarum [image of carat Biatorella hemisphaerica for North American reports] - cited from Cole Co. by Berry (1937); this forms the basis for the literature report in Gier & Kendrick (1972). No confirming specimens have been located. Given the notorious inaccuracy of Berry's determinations, the species must at present be excluded from the Missouri flora. Magnusson (1934) cites specimens from Illinois, adding credibility to the possible occurrence of this species in Missouri.

Biatorella simplex image of carat Polysporina simplex

Bryoria furcellata - reported from St. Louis Co. by Brodo & Hawksworth (1977), based on an Engelmann collection deposited at US. Careful examination of the somewhat confusing label data on the specimen reveals that it was collected in Bayfield, Wisconsin.

Buelia punctata [sensu AES (1986)] ¸ Amandinea punctata

BUELLIA De Not.

Buellia sp. MBG (1974a, 1974b): Salt River basin. image of caratWetmore (1992a): Taney Co.

Buellia colludens image of carat Rhizocarpon hochstetteri

Buellia curtisii (Tuck.) Imshaug image of caratImshaug (1951): Butler Co.

Buellia disciformis - reported from Washington Co. by Berry (1937) [as B. parasema]; this presumably forms the basis for the literature report in Gier & Kendrick (1972). Imshaug (1951) states that North American specimens of this taxon have been badly confused. Since no confirming specimens have been located, the species is excluded from the Missouri flora. Several early midwestern collections determined as B. parasema are referable to Amandinea punctata.
