G.K. Merrill proposed three new Calicium taxa that have largely been absent from North American lichen literature since their publication in The Bryologist in 1909. Calicium obscurum [≡ Chaenotheca obscura], which colonizes the basidiocarps of Trichaptum abietinum, predates the use of Chaenotheca balsamconensis. Calicium minutissimum was reintroduced as a member of the North American calicioid biota in 1999. Calicium curtisii var. splendidulum [as "splendidula"] is within the range of morphological variation of Phaeocalicium curtisii and does not warrant varietal status.

A consideration of the taxonomy of Ranunculus gmelinii DC. and R. hyperboreus Rottb. is presented. The role of phenotypic plasticity is indicated as a factor contributing to the range of morphological variation in these species and to the confusion found in their taxonomy. The present work, by a reexamination of representative material collected throughout the North American range of the species, and the use of controlled growth conditions, has suggested new limits for the species. This has resulted in modifications of the descriptions of the species and (or) the reduction of taxa to synonymy.Ranunculus hyperboreus Rottb. var. turquetilianus Polunin has been made a synonym of R. gmelinii DC.; R. natans C.A. Mey. var. intertextus (Greene) L. Benson has been made a synonym of R. hyperboreus Rottb.
