Ach. var. divaricata Delise ex Nyl., Parmotrema arnoldii (Du Rietz) Hale, Phaeophyscia hirsuta Mereschk., Physcia biziana (A.Massal.) Zahlbr., Physconia detersa (Nyl.) Poelt, Ramalina obtusata (Arnold) Bitter, Squamarina gypsacea (Sm.) Poelt, Toninia sedifolia (Scop.) Timdal, Umbilicaria cylindrica (L.) Delise ex Duby var. tornata (Ach.)
