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.
On nutrient-rich bark of old trees, Elm Ulmus spp., Ash Fraxinus excelsior , Beech Fagus sylvatica , and Ivy Hedera helix , usually near the coast. A rare and declining species confined to the extreme south of England, it has suffered greatly from the loss of Elm trees to Dutch Elm disease. Relatively large populations have recently been found, on a variety of tree species, on the Lizard Peninsula.
