Contributo alla conoscenza floristica dei licheni italiani: Florula lichenica della costa di Nardò e Porto Cesareo-LE

Abstract

En
Here is a report about the results of a lichenological survey in the coastal area between Torre Inserraglio and Punta Prosciutto (Lecce-South-East Italy). Altogether in this area 46 species have been found on three substrata: a) rock; b) soil; c) bark. Though the research considers only a part of taxa presents inside the area, it shows some important data: - Prevalence of crusty lichens, mostly on rocky substratum; - Absence of sub-oceanic species like Parmotrema hypoleucinum (Steiner) Hale, which is present along Salentine Adriatic coast; - High lichenic biodiversity of "Palude del Capitano", "Spunnulate di T.rre Castiglione", "macchie di Arneo".
