LICHALP

Ochrolechia bahusiensis H. Magn.

Syn.: Ochrolechia subviridis (Høeg) Erichsen f. pulverulenta Erichsen, Ochrolechia subviridis (Høeg) Erichsen var. lignaria (Erichsen) Erichsen

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark, lignum

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a species morphologically resembling O. arborea, but with a different secondary chemistry (murolic acid syndrome, gyrophoric acid syndrome), and therefore soralia UV-; mostly on the bark of deciduous trees in various forest types; widespread in Europe, but in Central Europe not consistently distinguished, and distribution therefore incompletely documented.
