Lichenised.

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

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: closely related to L. inundata; on more or less calciferous substrata, including concrete, tiles, cement etc., also in non-natural situations such as on walls in villages; apparently more frequent in the Southern and Western Alps.
