LICHALP

Flavoparmelia soredians (Nyl.) Hale

Syn.: Parmelia caperata (L.) Ach. var. soredians (Nyl.) Hillmann, Parmelia soredians Nyl., Pseudoparmelia soredians (Nyl.) Hale

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus)

Note: a mild-temperate lichen found on broad-leaved, more rarely coniferous trees, with optimum in areas with a warm-humid climate, usually below the montane belt; apparently more frequent in the Western and Southern Alps, at low elevations.
