Syn.: Lecanora picea auct. non (Dicks.) Nyl., Protoparmelia picea auct. non (Dicks.) Hafellner

Lichenised.

Substrate: siliceous rocks

Altitudinal range: from the subalpine belt (potential vegetation: open, taiga-like forests dominated by Larix decidua and/or Pinus cembra and Rhododendron) 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 hard siliceous rocks in exposed situations; probably ranging throughout the siliceous Alps, in rainy-humid areas.
