LICHALP

Placynthium flabellosum (Tuck.) Zahlbr.

Syn.: Anziella adglutinata (Anzi) Gyeln., Lecothecium adglutinatum Anzi, Pannaria flabellosa Tuck., Placynthium adglutinatum (Anzi) Trevis.

Lichenised.

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 subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a temperate to boreal-montane, perhaps circumpolar lichen found on moist siliceous rocks (inundation zones along streams, seepage tracks), often near mountain rivulets.
