Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the montane belt (potential vegetation: deciduous forests dominated by Fagus sylvatica and closed coniferous forests with Picea abies)

Note: a mild-temperate to Mediterranean lichen found on steeply inclined faces of compact calcareous rocks, and on small boulders; probably more widespread in the Alps, but overlooked, or confused with similar species.
