Lecidella euphorea (Flörke) Hertel

Syn.: Biatorina dolosa (Ach.) A.L. Sm., Lecidea achrista (Sommerf.) Britzelm., Lecidea dolosa Ach., Lecidea euphorea (Flörke) Nyl., Lecidea glomerulosa (DC.) Steud., Lecidea parasema (Ach.) Ach. var. euphorea (Flörke) Arnold, Lecidea sabuletorum Flörke var. euphorea Flörke, Lecidella dolosa (Ach.) Stein, Lecidella glomerulosa (DC.) M. Choisy

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: bark, lignum

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: the value of this taxon is questioned by some authors, who treat it as chemical strain (lacking xanthones) of L. elaeochroma; most frequent on bark of deciduous trees in montane to subalpine forests, also on low shrubs (e.g. Rhododendron) in the treeline ecotone.
