Geneac. Lich.: 8, 1854. Basionym: Lecanora adglutinata Kremp. - Flora, 24: 675, 1851.
Synonyms: Heppia monguillonii Harm.; Heppia urceolata Nägeli ex Hepp; Heppia virescens (Mont.) Nyl.; Nylanderopsis salevensis Gyeln.; Solorina virescens Mont.
Description: Thallus squamulose, heteromerous, rather thick, olive-yellowish to ochraceous brown both when dry and when moist, with pale punctiform depressions in a reticulate pattern. Squamules subpeltate, 1.5-2(-3) mm broad, at first flat, then concave, contiguous, with rounded ends and a down-turned edges, attached by a mat of 10-14 µm thick, colourless rhizohyphae. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, (12-)25-50(-70) µm thick, of periclinally arranged hyphae, covered with a 7-12 µm thick epinecral layer; medulla poorly developed; lower cortex absent or restricted to the margins. Apothecia without a thalline margin, semi-immersed in the squamules, up to 2 mm across, with a dark reddish brown, concave to flat disc, and a thin to indistinct proper margin. Proper exciple 20-50 µm wide laterally; epithecium brownish, K-; hymenium colourless, 120-180(-195) µm high, K/I+ reddish; paraphyses mostly simple, lax, distinctly thickened above; hypothecium colourless, 20-35 µm high. Asci 8-spored, with a very thin wall disintegrating or opening by apical ruptures, Lichina-type. Ascospores 1-celled (sometimes apparently 1-septate), hyaline, ellipsoid, thin-walled, 20-23 x 7-8 µm. Pycnidia dark, immersed. Conidia fusiform, 2.5-3.5 x 1-1.5 µm. Photobiont cyanobacterial, Scytonema-like. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
