C. E. Watkins photo. Galen Clark is famous for his discovery of the Mariposa Grove of Giant Sequoia trees and for his role as Guardian of Yosemite National Park for several years. Mr. Clark didn’t seek to enrich himself from Yosemite Valley or the Sequoia Trees. He did try to make a living though. He ran a modest hotel and guide service, but was a poor business man who was constantly in debt. “Clark’s Station” in Wawona, for example, had several more employees than required for the number of guests and its short season. Toward the end of his life Mr. Clark was desperately poor. He wasn’t a great book writer, but due to his popularity and need to make a living, wrote three books on Yosemite.

LENDEMER , KERRY KNUDSEN & ALAN M. FRYDAY ABSTRACT. – Caloplaca lecanoroides, a corticolous sorediate species is described as new to science. The nomenclature and typification of Lecanora semitensis is discussed, a lectotype is selected and a brief treatment of the species is provided. Rhizocarpon bolanderi var. sulphurosum is raised to the species level as R. sulphurosum. Naetrocymbe saxicola is reported new to North America and California. The following taxa are newly reported for California: Acarospora sinopica, Arthonia excentrica, Ionaspis lacustris, Niesslia peltigericola (on Peltigera didactyla), Pezizella epithallina (on Peltigera didactyla), and Xylographa soralifera. Lichenothelia scopularia is discussed and verified as occurring in California. INTRODUCTION During September 18–23, 2009 we participated in a foray to Yosemite National Park in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of California. The purpose of the foray was to bring together a group of lichen specialists to survey the lichen diversity of sites in the National Park. A checklist of the lichen biota of the National Park is currently being prepared by the organizers of the foray: however a number of new and interesting species were encountered that require more explanation or description than can be afforded in the context of a checklist. We thus compiled the present contribution. Other collections are still undergoing investigation, and further additions to the lichenized mycobiota of California are expected, which will be dealt with in future publications. MATERIALS AND METHODS Specimens were studied dry using a Bausch and Lomb StereoZoom 7 and Leica dissecting microscopes and subjected to chemical analysis using standard spot tests (reagents are abbreviated following Brodo et al.
