Syn.: Lecanora ficta Stizenb., Rinodina boleana Giralt & H. Mayrhofer
Lichenised.
Substrate: bark
Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus)
Note: on evergreen broad-leaved trees in parklands, waysides, and in open maquis or woodlands; also known from South Africa, New Zealand, North America, the Iberian Peninsula, Greece and Croatia, this species is probably more widespread in S Europe, especially in the Mediterranean belt; for the Alps there is a single record from the base of the Eastern Pre-Alps (Italy).
