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 species found on hard, compact calcareous rocks, mostly on steeply inclined faces wetted by rain; apparently most frequent in the Western and the Southern Alps (France, Italy).
