Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, whitish to pale grey, more or less continuous to rimose, sometimes provided with sparse, isidia-like papillae. Apothecia lecanorine, immersed in thalline warts, with an expanded 0.3-2.5 mm wide, brownish to brown-black, concave to slightly convex disc surrounded by an irregular, often flexuose, raised, at first swollen, finally often reduced thalline margin. Epithecium dark brown to brown-black, K+ violet; hymenium colourless; paraphyses lax, branched and richly anastomosing; hypothecium pale. Asci 1-spored, broadly cylindrical, the apex with a broad ocular chamber, the outer sheath K/I+ blue, otherwise K/I-, with an inner extensible layer, Pertusaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, (110-)150-200(-220) x (35-)60-90(-100) μm, the wall 12-20(-25) μm thick, with an outer, uniformly thickened layer and an unequal inner
layer. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ pale yellow, C+ red, KC+ red, P+ pale yellow turning orange, UV+ glaucous to orange. Chemistry: xanthones, stictic acid, gyrophoric acid and different accessory substances.
