LICHALP

Gyalecta subclausa Anzi

Syn.: Gyalecta chlorobaea Nyl., Gyalecta elegantula Müll. Arg., Gyalecta rosellovirens Nyl.

Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: an inconspicuous, perhaps overlooked species found on vertical faces of calcareous rocks in humid, damp and shaded situations in upland areas.
