Syn.: Lecanora efflorescens (Cromb.) Lettau, Lecanora intricata (Ach.) Ach. var. soralifera Suza, Lecanora polytropa (Hoffm.) Rabenh. var. efflorescens Cromb.

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks, metal-rich siliceous rocks

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 iron-rich rocks, including pebbles; certainly more widespread in the Alps.
