Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, continuous or rimose-areolate in central parts, yellowish white, whitish grey or greenish white, smooth, epruinose. Apothecia lecanorine, sessile, 0.5-1(-1.5) mm across, with a flesh-coloured to pinkish brown, but heavily white-pruinose, flat to rarely slightly convex disc, and a thin, persistent or sometimes finally excluded, entire or flexuose, smooth thalline margin.
