LICHALP

Heppia adglutinata (Kremp.) A. Massal.

Syn.: Heppia urceolata (Schaer.) Nägeli, Heppia virescens (Mont.) Nyl., Lecanora adglutinata Kremp., Nylanderopsis salevensis Gyeln., Solorina virescens Mont.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous soil

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: a cool-temperate to boreal-montane, circumpolar, ephemeral lichen of disturbed calciferous soil in dry, open grasslands; some records of H. lutosa might belong here.
