LICHALP

Diplotomma scheideggerianum (Bricaud & Cl. Roux) Nimis

Syn.: Buellia scheideggeriana Bricaud & Cl. Roux

Lichenised.

Substrate:

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mild-temperate lichen which seems to have a narrower ecological range than that of its hosts (Caloplaca chrysodeta, C. xantholyta), being slightly more hygro- and less photophytic; from the Alps there are several scattered records.
