It was formally described as a new species in 1849 by Italian botanist Giuseppe De Notaris.[2] The botanical name honours Swiss pastor and lichenologist Ludwig Schaerer.[3] It is a widely distributed lichen, occurring in Africa, Asia, Northern and Central Europe, Macaronesia, Central America, and North America. It grows on the bark and wood of trees, especially conifers and oak.[4]
