LICHALP

Polyblastia philaea Zschacke

Syn.: Amphoroblastia philaea (Zschacke) Servít

Lichenised. Poorly known taxon.

Substrate:

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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 very poorly understood species found on soil, both on bare ground and amongst bryophytes.
