Syn.: Aspicilia calcarea (L.) Bagl. α [var.] concreta (Schaer.) Körb. [f.] lobulata Anzi, Aspicilia verruculosa auct. non Kremp., Lecanora effigurans Zahlbr., Lecanora verruculosa auct. non (Kremp.) J. Steiner nec Bagl. nec Jatta

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) to the nival belt (above the lower limit of perennial snow and glaciers)

Note: a species with a bluish-grey, effigurate thallus; differences from A. candida are in need of evaluation; the type is on serpentine (but the species also occurs on slightly calcareous schists).
