Substrate: siliceous rocks, bark

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 siliceous rocks in humid forests, but also on exposed roots, mostly under overhangs, with a few scattered records from the Alps.
