LICHALP

Anema moedlingense Zahlbr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

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: the suberect, deeply sulcate squamules with a reticulate surface are diagnostic; on sunny calcareous rocks with periodical water seepage; often confused with A. nummularium, and certainly more widespread in the Alps.
