At present it has been collected in forest and supraforestal pastures, especially in grasslands of open forests with Pinus uncinata, Abies alba. and scattered patches of subalpine scrub with blueberry, creeping juniper, rhododendron and heather, between 1000 and 2125 m (Fig. 7), on Acinos alpinus (L.)
