Sprib. & Fryday Materials Type status: Other material . Occurrence: recordedBy: R.T. McMullin; occurrenceID: B0BF2961-3BF2-58BE-9ACE-87548E4DCD2C ; Location: locationID: V; decimalLatitude: 51.62022 ; decimalLongitude: -127.93070 ; Event: habitat: Saxicolous; Record Level: institutionID: CANL; collectionID: McMullin 19717 Notes This newly-described species ( Spribille et al. 2020 ) was previously known from British Columbia (e.g. Benton et al. (1977) , Noble et al. (1987) , Brodo and Sloan (2005) ), but reported as S. revertens Nyl. The latter species, however, prefers interior habitats that are mainly dry and forms small cushions, lacks marginal lobes and is often associated with Psorula rufonigra (Tuck.) Gotth. Schneid. ( Brodo et al. 2001 ). Spilonema maritimum is a common maritime lichen growing on coastal rocks in the middle supralittoral zone ( Brodo and Sloan 2005 ).
