Cladonia alpina (Swedish: Gaffelbägarlav) is a species of fruticose lichen that is in the family Cladoniaceae. It has been found in Japan, Norway, and the United Kingdom.[2][3]
Molecular phylogenetic analysis indicates that Cladonia alpina is a member of the Erythrocarpae: Subglaucescentes clade, a group of species including C. floerkeana, C. macilenta and C. polydactyla. Although the presence of porphyrilic acid has been claimed to be diagnostic for this species, some non-European collections lack this substance.[4]
