Materials examined. COLOMBIA • Magdalena, Santa Marta, locality of Minca, Cerro Kennedy ; 11°06.32′N ,
074°03.42′W; 2520 m a.s.l., 31 Jul. 2015; K. Ramírez Roncallo leg.; KRR 24; CBUMAG:LIC:189.
Identification. Pseudopodetia coralloid, highly branched at the apex; cylindrical phyllocladia covering the pseudopodetia, shorter towards the apex. Cephalodia sacculate, soralia terminal, and ascocarps black ( Boekhout 1982; Sipman 2002; Rincón-Espitia and Mateus 2013).
Ecology and distribution. Stereocaulon meyeri was recorded in the departments of Boyacá, Caldas, Cundinamarca, Risaralda, Santander, and Tolima, on soil in páramos from 3100 to 4300 m a.s.l. ( Rincón-Espitia and Mateus 2013; Bernal et al. 2020). In SNSM, it was found on clay soil and rocks, in open sites, next to the road in the Andean forest at 2520 m a.s.l.; the new record expands this species’ altitudinal distribution range.
