Wiss. Mitt. Niederösterr. Landesmus., 11: 114, 1998.. Basionym: Physcia biziana var. aipolioides Nádv. - Stud. Bot. Čechoslov., 8: 123, 1947.
Synonyms: Physcia biziana auct. non (A. Massal.) Zahlbr. var. biziana
Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, narrow-lobed, closely adpressed, forming orbicular, up to 4(-5) cm wide rosettes. Lobes (1-)2-3 mm wide, flat to usually concave, especially at tips, emaculate, completely covered in a white, finely farinose pruina. Lower surface white to brownish, sometimes with pale yellow patches, with simple rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white; lower cortex prosoplectenchymatous, with the lowermost part gradually forming rounded, isodiametric cells. Apothecia common, lecanorine, to 3 mm across, with a usually white-pruinose disc and a smooth thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses slender, simple or forked in upper part, the apical cells clavate, with a thin, dark brown cap. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, (13-)15-18(-21) x 6-9(-11) µm, the wall thickened at apex and at septum, Physcia-type. Pycnidia common, immersed, black. Conidia subcylindrical, 4-6 x c. 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P- or P+ faintly yellow; medulla K- (rarely K+ very faintly yellow), C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin; medulla with zeorin.
