Description: Thallus fruticose, pale yellowish green, to 1.5(-3) cm tall, erect to ascending, abundantly branched, firmly attached by a basal holdfast, forming shrubby, up to 2 cm wide tufts. Branches 0.3-1.5 mm wide, inflated and fistulose, pellucid when wet, terminating in numerous spiky branchlets, with a few to numerous, small, elongate or rounded fenestrations. Cortex thin; medulla white, very lax, especially below the apothecia, with sparse hyphae forming discontinuous bundles of chondroid tissue. Apothecia frequent, lecanorine, with a greenish disc and a thin, smooth thalline margin, mostly subterminal on smaller branches, subtended by a short, pointed spur. Epithecium pale brownish-olive; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses thick-walled, richly branched in upper part. Asci 8-spored, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass), the wall I-, but the thin outer gel I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 1-septate, hyaline, shortly fusiform, (9-)12-15(-17) x 4-6(-7) µm. Photobiont: chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex K-, C-, KC- or KC+ pale yellow, P-, UV- or UV+ white; medulla always KC-. Chemistry: cortex with usnic acid; medulla with sekikaic acid or divaricatic acid.
