Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, areolate, yellow-green, rarely delimited by a black prothallus, forming 0.2-0.5 cm wide patches consisting of 2-10 areoles and 2-5 apothecia, the areoles dispersed or contiguous, 0.3-0.7 mm wide, more or less angular, usually strongly convex, smooth, dull or glossy. Cortex poorly differentiated, 30-50 µm thick; medulla white, I+ blue. Apothecia lecideine, black, 0.3-0.7 mm across, rounded-angular to round, with a slightly to strongly convex disc and a thin, soon excluded proper margin. Proper exciple reddish brown in outer part, paler within, K+ purple-red; epithecium brown, K- or K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, 60-90 µm high; paraphysoids coherent, branched and anastomosing, the apical cells capitate; hypothecium brown, 100-200 µm high, K-. Asci 8-spored, clavate, fissitunicate, with a well-developed tholus that is K/I- in lower part and K/I+ blue near the apex, lacking an ocular chamber, Rhizocarpon-type. Ascospores 1-septate, dark brown, ellipsoid, 9-15 x 6-7 µm, halonate at least when young. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, or P+ yellow. Chemistry: cortex with rhizocarpic acid, medulla with or without psoromic acid.
