Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, rather loosely attached, bright scarlet red or orange-red, epruinose, usually with discoloured patches resembling pseudocyphellae, forming orbicular, up to 1.2 cm wide rosettes. Marginal lobes up to 1.2 mm long, strongly convex, contiguous to overlapping; central parts of thallus of flat, angular areoles. Cortex prosoplectenchymatous, 30-80 µm thick, with hyphal cells perpendicular to the surface, and partially reaching the algal layer. Apothecia numerous, covering the base of lobes, 0.3-1.2(-1.8) mm across, at first immersed in the thallus, then adnate to broadly sessile, round to irregular in outline by mutual compression, with a concave to finally slightly convex, scarlet red to red-orange, epruinose disc, a thin, paler proper margin, and a smooth to crenulate thalline margin concolorous to thallus. Epithecium 6-14 µm thick, brownish yellow, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, 50-95 µm high; paraphyses richly branched, 1.5-3.5 µm thick at base, the apical cells 3-6.5 µm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, (10-)11.5-15(16.5) x (3.5-)5-6(-7), the equatorial thickening (“septum”) (2.5-)3.5-5(-6) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K+ purple-red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus and apothecia with unidentified anthraquinones.
