LICHALP

Scytinium parvum (Degel.) Otálora, P.M. Jørg. & Wedin

Syn.: Collema parvum Degel.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: on steeply inclined seepage tracks of calcareous rocks with colonies of cyanobacteria, most frequent in upland areas; certainly overlooked or confused with other species in parts of its range.
