Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the submediterranean/colline belt (potential vegetation: mixed deciduous forests dominated by Quercus and Carpinus)
Note: a mild-temperate lichen with subtropical affinities found on nutrient-rich bark in very humid situations; perhaps extinct in the Insubrian district of Italy.
