Range & habitat
P. infirma is typically a coastal species, found in open, trampled grassland, on cliff-tops, tracksides, picnic sites, lawns, and car parks, as well as in stabilised dunes. It can also be found inland, typically in man-made habitats with poor or sand. It is often found in pavement cracks, depressions on eroded concrete, or on gravelly substrate on edges of car parks, roads, or industrial estates.
