Key Words: Foliicolous lichens, Central Europe, ecology. Summary: In a ravin SW of Gamlitz in South-west Styria, Austria, at an altitude of ± 350 m, in a locality with a very constant, humid climate, four different species of foliicolous lichens could be found on needles of Abies: Bacidia (coll.) gorgonea spec. nov., characterized by its peculiar conidiomata, Bacidina apiahica and Fellhanera buxi (both new to Central Europe), and - most abundantly - Fellhanera bouteillei, which once must have been widespread, through uncommon throughout Central Europe. All four species grow on rather young trees. It is demonstrated, that the type of vegetation in this locality is merely a stage of rather quick succession, which can offer favourable conditions for foliicolous lichens only for a rather short period.
