Sparria endlicheri (Garov.) Ertz & Tehler

Syn.: Arthonia decussata Flot., Arthonia endlicheri (Garov.) Oxner, Arthonia lobata (Flörke) A. Massal., Lecanactis lobata Flörke, Opegrapha endlicheri Garov., Pachnolepia decussata (Flot.) Körb., Pachnolepia endlicheri (Garov.) A. Massal.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, intermediate rocks (such as calciferous schists)

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: on vertical to underhanging faces seldom wetted by rain of compact, basic siliceous rocks, much more rarely on weakly calcareous rocks or, exceptionally, on rain-protected bases of ancient trees; rare and perhaps declining in the Alps.
