LICHALP

Lecanora rouxii S. Ekman & Tønsberg

Syn.: Lepraria flavescens Cl. Roux & Tønsberg, Lepraria flavescens Clauzade & Cl. Roux nom. inval.

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: on vertical to underhanging surfaces of weathered or fissured calcareous rocks seldom wetted by rain, often in woodlands, mostly in natural habitats; certainly more widespread in the Alps. Closely related to Lecanora swartzii.
