Omphalodium pisacomense
Meyen & Flot. (1843: 223)
Reported from Santa Cruz by
Calvelo & Liberatore (2002)
.
Redón (1985)
reported it from basaltic volcanoes in the eastern Patagonian steppes, in a study dealing with a trans-continental Fuego-Patagonian gradient. However, he did not indicate any localities for the lichens he reported, not even which country it was collected from. However,
Etayo & Sancho (2008)
reported it from the Chilean National Park Pali-Aike, and we can confirm that it is common on volcanic rocks there and on the basaltic volcano caldera of Morro Chico, also in
Chile
