The Lichen Checklist contains 853 accepted names of lichen species and infraspecies that are known to occur in Alaska. This checklist is searchable by both accepted names and synonyms, but it displays only the accepted names. To explore the relationships between applied/misapplied names and accepted names and to view the USDA Plants Database Codes, refer to the Comprehensive Checklist page.
Instructions
Use the filters and search boxes below to explore the checklist. The “Accepted Name” field shows accepted vascular taxa. The source field contains links for the material from which a name was accepted.
All fields can be searched at once by typing queries in the main search block above the table. For example, life-forms can be searched for by typing “tree”, “shrub”, “dwarf shrub”, “forb”, “graminoid”, etc., into either the main search block or the “Growth Form” field.
To download the results of a query, select “All” in the number of rows and then click the desired download format. Queries that display thousands of rows may take several minutes to load.
