LICHALP

Farnoldia jurana (Schaer.) Hertel subsp. caerulea (Kremp.) M. Brand

Syn.: Lecidea caerulea Kremp.

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a name applied to a small-spored morph of the F. jurana aggregate; on limestone and dolomite; distribution incompletely known, because it was not always distinguished.
