Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, intermediate rocks (such as calciferous schists)

Altitudinal range: from the mesomediterranean belt (potential vegetation: evergreen broad-leaved forests dominated by Quercus ilex) to the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron)

Note: a holarctic lichen mostly found on basic siliceous rocks (rarely also on superficially decalcified limestone), especially hard sandstone, often on small stones or on surfaces not far from the ground; widespread throughout the Alps, mostly below treeline.
