LICHALP

Lecanora salicicola H. Magn.

Syn.: Lecanora migdina sensu Poelt & Vězda, Lecanora pulicaris (Pers.) Ach. subsp. rhododendri (Harm.) Clauzade & Cl. Roux, Lecanora rhododendri (Harm.) Motyka, Lecanora subfuscata H. Magn. var. rhododendri (Harm.) Poelt

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 probably circumboreal-montane lichen found on dead or decaying twigs of shrubs, especially Rhododendron ferrugineum in the subalpine belt; certainly widespread throughout the Alps.
