LICHALP

Cetrelia monachorum (Zahlbr.) W.L. Culb. & C.F. Culb.

Syn.: Parmelia monachorum Zahlbr.

Lichenised.

Substrate: bark,

Altitudinal distribution: montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a species with the imbricaric acid syndrome (major) and perlatolic acid (minor), found on the bark of broad-leaved trees, more rarely on silicicolous mosses in humid, old, mostly montane forests; probably the most common species of Cetrelia in the Alps; several records listed under C. cetrarioides could refer to this taxon.
