The lichens of Southern Ontario, Canada / by Pak Yau Wong and Irvin M. Brodo.NM95-20/69E

The lichen flora of southern Ontario as we now know it consists of 482 taxa (465 species, 5 subspecies and 12 varieties) in 131 genera. The flora is undoubtedly smaller now than it was 75 or 100 years ago due mainly to air pollution and habitat destruction. Frequency, habitat, substrate, and counties of occurrence are recorded for each taxon, as well as taxonomic comments for many. Keys to species of some genera are also included to supplement or update the keys presented in Brodo's Lichens of the Ottawa Region, 2nd edition.--Abstract, page 4
