LICHALP

Pertusaria carneopallida (Nyl.) Nyl

Syn.: Lecanora carneopallida Nyl., Pertusaria leptocarpa Anzi

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) 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 lichen found on smooth-barked hardwoods in upland areas; apparently not common in the Alps.
