Substrate: siliceous 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 temperate, perhaps holarctic species found on small siliceous pebbles, but also on steeply inclined faces near the ground, below the subalpine belt.
