Taxonomy

The lichen was first formally described by Finnish lichenologist Edvard August Vainio in the first volume of his 1887 work Monographia cladoniarum with the name Cladonia corrallifera γ. transcendens.[1] The type material was collected from Oregon by David Lyall in 1858. In 1898, Vainio raised this taxon to species level.[2]

Teuvo Ahti and Paula Depriest put forth a proposal to conserve the name Cladonia transcendens with a conserved type in 2005.[3] This was later accepted by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi.[4]
