Abstract
The crustose lichen Koerberiella wimmeriana (Korb.) Stein was discover ed from British Columbia, Oregon, and Alaska and represents a new genu s for the continent. Some of the specimens are richly fertile and have a smooth, rimose-areolate thallus, but others represent the sterile m orphotype with isidioid verrucae seen most often in Europe. One specim en was heavily parasitized by Sagediopsis aquatica (Stein) Triebel, al so reported here as new for North America.
