Syn.: Lecothecium pluriseptatum Arnold, Pannaria dolichotera Nyl., Parmeliella melantera (Stirt.) A.L. Sm., Placynthium pluriseptatum (Arnold) Arnold
Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.
Substrate: calciferous rocks, siliceous rocks
Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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: on basic siliceous or slightly calciferous rocks in humid-sheltered situations near or above treeline. A poorly known species of the P. nigrum-complex, which badly needs revision.
