LICHALP

Absconditella annexa (Arnold) Vězda

Syn.: Gyalecta annexa (Arnold) H. Olivier, Secoliga annexa Arnold

Lichenised.

Substrate: acidic soil (mostly on siliceous substrata),

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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: an ephemeral lichen found on moribund bryophytes and organic soil over siliceous substrata; in the study area so far reported only from the Eastern Alps (Austria, Italy), but certainly more widespread.
