Atla alpina is a species of saxicolous (rock-dwelling), crustose lichen in the family Verrucariaceae,[1] and the type species of the genus Atla. Found in Europe, it was formally described as a new species in 2008 by Sanja Savić and Leif Tibell. The type specimen was collected near Djupdalsvallen (Mittåkläppen, Härjedalen, Sweden) at an altitude of 1,170 m (3,840 ft), where it was found growing on northwest-facing, vertical slate rocks. In addition to Sweden, the lichen has been recorded from Scandinavia, Spitsbergen, Novaya Zemlya, Austria, and Germany, at altitudes ranging from 345 to 2,700 m (1,132 to 8,858 ft).[2]
