Growing on ledges in much the same way as it does in the 
valleys of North Carolina. We have not observed P. incanum on 
trees in the mountains, and in fact, after careful inquiry, can learn 
of no such instances, while it is not at all a rare sight to see P. 
vulgare growing on trees, especially on the higher peaks.* How- 
ever in the warmer district P. incanum prefers to grow on trees 
and often completely clothes large trunks.
