LICHALP

Lecanora bicincta Ramond var. sorediata (Flot.) Leuckert & Poelt

Syn.: Zeora glaucoma (Hoffm.) Flot. var. sorediata Flot.

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) 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: probably more widespread, at least in the Alps, but overlooked, and certainly not common. See also note on var. bicincta.
