LICHALP

Verruculopsis flavescentaria Gueidan, Nav.-Ros. & Cl. Roux

Lichenised.

Substrate:

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: parasitic on Caloplaca flavescens, this species has a narrower range than its host, as it mostly occurs in rather shaded situations; in the study area so far only reported from the Western Alps (France), but perhaps more widespread.
