LICHALP

Sarcogyne regularis Körb. var. minuta (A. Massal.) N.S. Golubk.

Syn.: Sarcogyne pruinosa auct. var. minuta A. Massal.

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal distribution: alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: a calcicolous variety with a white leprose thallus in which the gyalectoid apothecia (pruinose or not) are immersed; often not distinguished, and therefore distributional data therefore incomplete and hard to interpret.
