Pseudosagedia austriaca (Körb.) Hafellner

Syn.: Porina austriaca (Körb.) Arnold, Sagedia austriaca Körb.

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate: siliceous 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: a species of shaded and humid surfaces of siliceous rocks near or above treeline, which needs further study.
