LICHALP

Squamarina oleosa (Zahlbr.) Poelt

Syn.: Lecanora oleosa Zahlbr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a typically submediterranean lichen found in fissures of calcareous rocks; never common, but perhaps more widespread in the Southern Alps.
