,
Serbia
and
Slovenia
(
Sabovljević
et al.
2008
;
Ros
et al.
2013
;
Hodgetts 2015
). Additionally, in the rest of the Mediterranean, it was reported only from
Corse
,
France
,
Italy
,
Portugal
and
Spain
(
Ros
et al.
2013
;
Hodgetts 2015
).The specimen has leaf nerve ending below apex and rhizoidal gemmae pale brown, spherical to pyriform, 90 -110 µm in diameter, while sporophytes are rare (as stated by

).
