LOCAL FLORA NOTES 

 . A New Station for Cetraria islandica 



The distribution of the "Iceland Moss" lichen, Cetraria islandica 

 in the range of the Torrey Botanical Club was summarized by the 

 late Raymond H. Torrey in Torreya 37: 124—125, 1937. An addi- 

 tional large colony of this interesting lichen was discovered on the 

 Torrey Club field trip of May 4, 1941. While climbing the sides 

 of Sugarloaf Mountain near Chester, New York, Dr. M. L. Massey 

 picked up a specimen and brought it to the leader's attention. 

 Further search of the hillside led to discovery of a very large colony 

 of the Cetraria islandica on the southwest exposure. The lichen is 

 growing on sandy soil in open pitch pine and chestnut oak forest. 

 The plants are very luxuriant, with broad lobes, and resemble those 

 from the colony at Montague, New Jersey. A considerable area is 

 covered by the lichen, but the colony is not easily found as it is to 

 the southwest and ofif the trail which is used in climbing the south 

 face of the mountain. A specimen has been deposited in the herba- 

 rium of the New York Botanical Garden.
