Locations, substrates, and habitat preferences are described, and some observations regarding the geography of its abundance in coastal northern California and southern Oregon are reported.

The composition of these communities was found to be species depauperate when compared to tropical foliicole communities but resembles them in several ways. Observations of species rarely encountered in California are given and their known distribution in coastal California and the Pacific Northwest is discussed. Novel substrates for some species are discussed and several lichens are recorded as new to California. Introduction Cryptogams that grow on the leaves of higher plants (termed foliicoles) are a conspicuous and diverse community of organisms in tropical forests. Bryophytes, subaerial algae, cyanobacteria, and lichens are the most conspicuous groups represented in these communities. Foliicolous lichens found here form a diverse assemblage of species and in some areas they form the majority of lichen species encountered on the landscape. Leaf substrates colonized in thes...
