McCune, B. 2012: The identity of Hypogymnia delavayi (Parmeliaceae) and its impact on H. alpina and H. yunnanensis. - Opuscula Philolichenum 11: 11-18. [RLL List # 226 / Rec.# 33595]
Keywords: China, Hengduan Mountains, Himalaya Mountains, India, Lecanorales, lichenized ascomycetes, lichenized fungi, Yunnan Province.
Abstract: The type of Hypogymnia delavayi, together with the two associated specimens collected by Delavay, fit perfectly the distinctive species currently known as H. yunnanensis. Accordingly, H. yunnanensis is placed in synonymy with the older name H. delavayi; this species is now known only from southwest China. Many specimens representing the common subalpine to alpine ground-dwelling species in northern India and Nepal, previously placed in H. delavayi, are referred to H. alpina Awasthi. Reports of H. delavayi from Far East Russia belong to other species.
