Taxonomic Comments

Esslinger (2018) follows Stone et al. (2016) who narrow the concept of Leptogium saturnium, a highly variable group, by distinguishing six species within: L. acadiense, L. compactum, L. cookii, L. hirsutum (which Esslinger and Egan 1995 also recognized), L. saturninum (narrow), and L. burnetiae (L. burnetiae is excluded from North America).
