Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, adpressed to adnate, forming up to 15 cm wide, often coalescing rosettes. Lobes elongated, 1-3 mm wide, radiating toward margins, flat to convex, occasionally pruinose, weakly maculate at tips. Upper surface brown to dark brown, uneven and rugose. Lower surface black, with simple rhizines. Upper cortex brown, paraplectenchymatous, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan; medulla white. Apothecia usually numerous, lecanorine, sessile to stipitate, to 6 mm across, with a brown disc and a smooth thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, thick-walled, the apex I+ blue with a wide, divergent axial body, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 8-11 x 4-7 µm. Pycnidia common, immersed. Conidia weakly dumbbell-shaped, 4.5-7 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont: chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex K-, C-, KC-, P-, N+ blue-green; medulla K-, C-, KC- or C+ and KC+ pink to red, P-, UV-. Chemistry: medulla with stenosporic acid (major), divaricatic acid (minor), perlatolic acid (minor), and numerous other accessory compounds.
Note: a mainly temperate to Mediterranean species found on exposed siliceous rocks, including pebbles, exceptionally also on limestone, with a broad, but mainly Tyrrhenian distribution in Italy. Some records could refer to other, morphologically similar but chemically different taxa.
