Abstract:

Xanthoparmelia idahoensis was previously known only from two sites near Salmon, Lemhi County in Idaho, where it grew on calcareious lacustine ash soil. This species appears to prefer frigid arid regions with very sparse vascular plant cover. Generally sites where this species occurs arc considered relatively barren "badlands". The Idaho and Canada sites are similar climatically and vegetatively. Detailed ecological informations for the Saskatchewan site are lacking. Xanthoparmelia idahoensis should be searched for in frigid arid steppes and badland sites within the arid intermountain region.
