Loharia piihnonaria prefers the stems of deciduous trees, as Sorbiis, 

 (Jucrciis, Populiis a. o. It is most frequently met with in lower subalpine 

 positions, not recorded higher than the upper forest line, and certainly rare 

 near it. It descends to the level of the sea. — Also found on mossy rocks 

 and on stones, at least in Western Norway. 



It is distributed through all our provinces (fylker), but north of Lofoten 

 it retires to the valleys, it is not common there, and only seen at well 

 exposed places. 



It is very variable, presenting more or less intensely sorediate or even 

 isidiate modifications, and more or less nitidous. The lacinia are rather 

 elongate and narrow in the type, but occasionally also broad and short. 

 Lobaria linita has relatively broader laciniae and a more nitidous thallus, 

 but the best character is the soredia with are developed in L. pnhnonaria 

 and not in L. linita. 



Apothecia are not common and usually infested with Cclidiiini Stictanini.
