Range & Status

A newly described (2005) species for Britain which is found on consolidated soil near the sea. Discovered in the Isles of Scilly during the early 2000s it is now known from St. Martin' s and St. Agnes. Since then it has been recorded on mainland Cornwall, Devon, west and south-west Scotland and south-west Ireland. This species appears to be part of the Macronesian element of the lichen flora of Britain.
