Synonyms: Lecanora rouxii S. Ekman & Tønsberg; Lepraria flavescens Clauzade & Cl. Roux nom. inval.
Description: Thallus leprose, episubstratic, whitish to cream-coloured, clearly delimited, usually rosette-forming, often falling off in the central parts, consisting of a soft mass of soredia-like, up to 200 µm wide granules. Medulla white, well-developed and thick. Apothecia extremely rare, lecanorine, partly immersed to almost superficial, mostly 0.5-1 mm across, with a pinkish, pruinose disc reacting C+ and KC+ yellow and a more or less distinct, sorediate thalline margin. Mature asci and spores not known. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K+ yellow, C+ bright yellow, KC+ yellow-orange, P+ yellow, UV+ violet; apothecial disc C+ and KC+ bright lemon yellow. Chemistry: atranorin, eugenitol, flavescin, sordidone and 4 unknown substances.
