Panuelia sa.xatilis is one of our most widely distributed and most 

 frequent lichens. It is found all over our country, frequent or abundant 

 at suitable places in all elevations, with the exception of the highest moun- 

 tains. It ascends, however, to the summit of the mountain Haarteigen, 

 1700 m. 



It prefers rocks and stones of hard minerals, but it is also common 

 on Betiila and on Piiiits, especially in Northern Norway. — It is a helio- 

 philous plant. 



Paniielia sa.xatilis is one of the few lichens whicli are known by 

 name by the common man in the country. This is in part due to its size 

 and conspicuous appearance, but chiefly to its usefulness as a colouring 

 plant (cfr. Westring Färglafvar, p. ii, tab. 2 1. It was formerly much used 

 by the country people, but it could not stand the competition against the 

 cheap chemical dyes, and is now litde used.
