Importance and distribution

Floricola comprises three species. Floricola clematidis has been reported on dead stems of Clematis vitalba (Ranunculaceae) in Europe (Italy). Floricola striata was found on senescent leaves and inflorescences of Juncus roemerianus (Juncaceae) in the United States (North Carolina) while F. viticola was reported on Vitis vinifera (Vitaceae) in Europe (Italy).
