Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, narrow-lobed, closely adpressed, forming orbicular to irregular, 3-8(-10) cm wide rosettes. Lobes 0.5-1(-1.5) mm wide, radiating, separated to overlapping, whitish to ash-grey, white-maculate, pruinose at list at the tips, esorediate.

Apothecia frequent, lecanorine, to 1.5 mm across, with a brown-black, epruinose disc and an entire to crenulate thalline margin. Asci 8-spored, clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, 14-19 x 6-8(-10) µm, the wall thickened at apex and at septum, Physcia-type. Pycnidia black, immersed. Conidia subcylindrical. Photobiont chlorococcoid.
