Description: Thallus small-foliose to subsquamulose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, 5-10 mm wide. Lobes rounded or irregular, flattened, smooth, poorly developed and sometimes reduced to a collar around the apothecium, the upper surface pale greyish-green, sometimes tinged brown, often white-pruinose, bright green when wet, the lower surface white, indistinctly veined, tomentose, with scattered pale rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, lower cortex absent; medulla white, rarely hosting internal cephalodia.

Proper exciple poorly developed; epithecium brownish; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses coherent, not anastomosing, simple, the apical cells hardly swollen.
