Peltigera sciitata is a lowland species which but rarely ascends as high 

 as 5 — 600 m. in Western Norway and somewhat higher in Eastern Nor- 

 way (Dovre ca. 900 — 1000 m.l. There are several stations from Eastern 

 Norway, but it is by far more frequent in Western Norway, especially at 

 the Qords (large old trees are less common on the coast itself).

Candelaria concolor is supposed to be a lowland species in Norway, 

 very rare in Western Norway (according to Havaas I, and not common in 

 Eastern Norway. It is, however, not supposed to be so rare in Eastern 

 Norwav, as these few stations indicate.
