Opegrapha rupestris Pers., syn: Opegrapha persoonii (Ach.) Chev., Opegrapha parasitica auct.EN: ?Slo.: ?Dat.: Feb. 22. 2009Lat.: 46.31803 Long.: 13.55166Code: Bot_323/2009_DSC6432 Picture file names: from Opegrapha-rupestris_raw_1 to Opegrapha-rupestris_raw_5.Habitat: rocks of a dirt road scarp; humid and shady place; mixed forest and grassland around, no insolation during winter months; often wet place; north aspect; about 1.5 mm above the road level; exposed to direct rain; precipitations ~3.000 mm/year, average temperature 7-9 deg C, elevation 400 m (1.300 feet), alpine phytogeographical region.Substratum: on Gyalecta sp. lichen; vertical, hard, calcareous rock surface. Place: Bovec basin, southeast of village ezsoa, dirt road side leading to former ski lifts, East Julian Alps, Posoje, Slovenia EC.Comment: Substratum, habitat and habit correspond well to Opegrapha rupestris. It is the only lichen of this genus which grows on calcareous rock in most cases parasitizing other crustose lichens, usually a species of Verrucariaceae, but also other lichens. Backwards analysis (backwards because of the lack of microscopic data) of the keys published in Ref.: 1, 3 and 4 show no conflicts. Ref.: 5 states several finds of Opegrapha rupestris in Slovenia, however, no finds are included in Boletus Informaticus Database (Ref.: 6). Unfortunately no chemical test and microscopy have been done. Therefore the determination remains questionable. Ref.:(1) C.W.
