LICHALP

Enchylium limosum (Ach.) Otálora, P.M. Jørg. & Wedin

Syn.: Collema forissii Szatala, Collema glaucescens Hoffm., Collema limosum (Ach.) Ach., Collema viscosum A. Massal., Lichen limosus Ach., Parmelia limosa (Ach.) Ach.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous soil

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: a holarctic, temperate to boreal-montane, short-lived species of mineral, clay soil in disturbed habitats; certainly overlooked, but never common in the Alps.
