Xanthoparmelia pulla (Ach.) O. Blanco, A. Crespo, Elix, D. Hawksw. & Lumbsch subsp. pulla var. delisei (Duby) ined. (provisionally placed here, ICN Art. 36.1b)

Syn.: Neofuscelia delisei (Duby) Essl., Parmelia delisei (Duby) Nyl., Parmelia olivacea var. delisei Duby, Parmelia pulla Ach. var. delisei (Duby) H. Magn., Xanthoparmelia delisei (Duby) O. Blanco, A. Crespo, Elix, D. Hawksw. & Lumbsch

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous 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 base-rich siliceous rocks. Perhaps this may be the primary, sexually reproducing species of X. loxodes, chemically different from the typical variety, and probably often confused with it.
