LICHALP

Caloplaca coralliza Arup & Åkelius

Syn.: Blastenia coralliza (Arup & Åkelius) Arup, Søchting & Frödén

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a recently described species, which seems to be less common than the similar C. herbidella in the Alps.
