Lichenised.

Substrate: calciferous rocks, intermediate rocks (such as calciferous schists), siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the alpine belt (potential vegetation: treeless Alpine grasslands and tundras, to the lower limit of perennial snow and the equilibrium line of glaciers)

Note: on calcareous rocks, mortar, basic siliceous rocks, brick and roofing tiles, often on man-made substrata, usually below the subalpine belt; widespread throughout the Alps.
