Flavoplaca View in CoL View at ENA
Only 2 species recorded in the region, both with crustose thallus. Flavoplaca flavocitrina is a broadly distributed species forming areoles or tiny squamules producing soredia; apothecia are rarely present in the material from the region. Flavoplaca oasis has abundant apothecia, but vegetative diaspores are absent. Literature: Arup (2006), Arup et al. (2013), Orange (2018), Vondrák et al. (2009).
Flavoplaca flavocitrina : 7 localities at altitudes 250–1440 m, in humid and arid non-alpine habitats. Substrate: calcareous and base-rich siliceous rocks. Additional information in Vondrák et al. (2016a).
Flavoplaca oasis : 18 localities at altitudes 250–1750 m, in humid and arid non-alpine habitats, rarely in humid alpine sites. Substrate: limestone, rarely base-rich siliceous rocks. The species has variable thallus morphology in the region. Typical morphotypes with strongly reduced thallus were found together with morphotypes with tiny yellow lobes ( Fig. 5C View FIGURE 5 ) resembling the Mediterranean-European F. polycarpa .
