The descriptive text, below the map, is from the Cornish Red Data Book (2009). The map on this web page depicts the organisms distribution and shows the records made pre-2000 and those made since.

Gyalecta flotowii



Range & Status

Mostly on the base-rich bark of old Ash Fraxinus excelsior and Elm Ulmus spp. Also

recorded, less frequently on Sycamore Acer pseudoplatanus and Oak Quercus spp. It

occurs in nutrient tracks on Oak and Ash at Boconnoc and on Elm at Tremough near

Penryn. Older records should be checked as it is easily confused with G. truncigena .
