LICHALP

Psoroglaena stigonemoides (Orange) Henssen

Syn.: Leucocarpia stigonemoides (Orange) Hafellner & Kalb, Macentina stigonemoides Orange

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark,

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a humid subtropical to Mediterranean-Atlantic lichen mainly found on Sambucus nigra in humid-shaded situations, and on the leaves of Buxus in the undergrowth of moist-warm forests; certainly not common in the Alps, but probably also overlooked.
