Parmelia submontana
This foliose lichen grows on trees in old, humid, boreal-montane forests in Europe, Africa, Macaronesia, and Asia. It is characterized but its geotropically oriented, pendulous lobes with an upper surface covered is long pseudocyphellae, punctiform soralia, and globose isidia. The lower surface is black , and has furcate, black rhizines. It only rarely produces apothecia. I have been on the lookout for this species in the German Alps for the last few years and have yet to find it, but I am sure I will someday. You can't evade me forever, P. submontana!
