LICHALP

Rinodina conchophylla H. Mayrhofer & Poelt

Lichenised.

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

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) 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: on calcareous schists and basic siliceous rocks in warm-dry areas; only reported from South Tyrol (Italy), but perhaps occurring also in other dry valleys of the Alps.
