LICHALP

Catillaria detractula (Nyl.) H. Olivier

Syn.: Lecania detractula (Nyl.) Arnold, Lecanora detractula Nyl.

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: a temperate species of calcareous rocks in open situations; ecology and distribution need further study.
