LICHALP

Xanthoparmelia angustiphylla (Gyeln.) Hale

Syn.: Parmelia angustiphylla (Gyeln.) Gyeln., Parmelia conspersa (Ehrh. ex Ach.) Ach. var. angustiphylla Gyeln.

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

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: a southern species in Europe, found on siliceous boulders perhaps better treated as a subspecies of X. conspersa (see Roux et coll. 2014: 1279).
