Lobaria laciniata is a lowland species. On the whole it is a coast 

 species, but it is not strictly bound to the shore, there are 2 inland stations 

 in Norway (Kristiania and Opdal). It is much more frequent in Western 

 than in Eastern and South-Eastern Norway. It is no Atlantic species, and 

 most probably more frequent in the western fjords than on the Atlantic 

 coast itself. 



It prefers warm and dry stations, such as mossy sunny rocks and the 

 stems of well exposed deciduous trees which are occasionally quite enveloped 

 by this plant. In accordance with this demand for warmth its continuous 

 distribution only exceptionally surpasses Lofoten northwards. There is only 

 one station in Troms fylke, Gravljord near Lofoten; this specimen is, how- 

 ever, one of the largest und best developed in our herbarium. 



According to Ha va as (in lit.) the type — without cephalodia — is 

 more frequent in Norway than the specimens with cephalodia. 



Apothecia are not common. 1 have measured spores as large as 65 [x.
