Locality: Steirisches Randgebirge, Grazer Bergland, 4 km west of the centre of Weiz, gorge of the river Raab ('Raabklamm'), orographically left side of the river
Habitat: Small ridge in a mixed forest with schist outcrops and small boulders of feldspar rich pegmatite, on south-southeast exposed, vertical (or overhanging) rock faces
Remarks: In the easternmost parts of the Alps, Lepraria incana mostly occures on vertical (or overhanging) faces of siliceous rocks in rather shady conditions. In contrast to other european regions, the species is very rarely found on bark of trees on which Lepraria lobificans and L. vouauxii are the most frequent Leprarias, especially close to [or within] settlements
