Habitat notes from C&S are as follows. Sides of granitic rocks and boulders, thin and deeper soil (lithosols) among rocks, and on banks in areas of old copper mine spoil; unshaded or lightly shaded (once in small quantity part-shaded in deciduous woodland); associates include Ceratodon purpureus, Dicranum scottianum, Didymodon insulanus, Gymnocolea inflata, Pseudocrossidium hornschuchianum, Scapania compacta, rarely Barbilophozia attenuata. Soil on banks about old granite quarry. Colonist on clay and gravelly substrates and granitic boulders of banks around working china clay quarries, quarry floors and on spoil heaps; usually unshaded, sometimes partly shaded. Acid soil on banks, slopes and old tracks and thin soil over granite and slate rocks high on sea-cliffs or above them (sometimes  in exposed sites, as small fertile plants). Thin soil over horizontal to vertical surfaces of granitic rocks at tors, and on gravelly or gritty soil among granitic boulders on hilltop, unshaded to part shaded (near Ceratodon purpureus, Dicranum scottianum, Polytrichum juniperinum, Polytrichum piliferum, Scapania gracilis). A bit part shaded on soil over rock on wooded hillside. Thin often humic soil on horizontal tops or steep or vertical sides of old stone walls and 'hedges', with Diplophyllum albicans, Scapania compacta. Patch on steep rock in N.-facing wall beside lane. In Isles of Scilly on peaty soil above cliffs and on coastal slopes, or among rocks, often growing among mosses or other liverworts. On damp china clay at unshaded edge of settling tank in works, on thin layer of damp clay over horizontal concrete of ruined works, unshaded (with Gymnocolea inflata, Scapania irrigua). Damp peat of low bank beside acidic flush. Bodmin Moor: on unshaded peat of low banks in and near mires. On healthy, decaying or moribund sphagna and other vegetation and damp bare peaty surfaces in mires, in flat areas or at bases of hummocks (associates in mires include Calypogeia muelleriana, Campylopus pyriformis, Cephalozia bicuspidata, Cephalozia connivens, Kurzia pauciflora, Kurzia sylvatica, Kurzia trichoclados, Lophozia incisa Mylia anomala, Odontoschisma sphagni, Sphagnum capillifolium; Drosera rotundifolia).

Usually (perhaps always?) with foliar gemmae, but these sometimes sparse. Often c.per: 4, 11, ;occasionally c.fr.: capsules immature 1, 10; mature 1, dehisced 10. Abundantly fertile at Portheras, January 1998, over large area
