LICHALP

Parmelia barrenoae Divakar, M.C. Molina & A. Crespo

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, siliceous rocks

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: mostly epiphytic, more rarely on siliceous rocks; the distribution in the Alps is very poorly known because it was almost never distinguished from P. sulcata.
