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 Mediterranean-Macaronesian species found on ancient specimens of Olea and Quercus ilex in warm-humid areas, also reported from the base of the Western Alps (France).
