Substrate:

Altitudinal range: from the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus) 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 periodically inundated siliceous rocks, especially in the splash zone of lake shores or along creeks, in seepage tracks on slightly sloping faces; from the Alps there are several scattered records.
