LICHALP

Verrucaria submersella Servít

Syn.: Verrucaria submersa Schaer. non Borrer

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: ,

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: closely related to V. elaeomelaena and V. funckii, but differing in several morphological characters, this freshwater lichen needs further study.
