Description: Thallus crustose, of scattered or contiguous, circular to irregular, weakly to strongly convex, 0.1-0.5(-0.8) mm wide, 0.1-0.2 mm thick areoles, yellow, yellowish orange to orange, forming small irregular patches, sorediate. Soralia at first punctiform to small-crateriform and laminal, yellow to orange, later becoming convex and covering most of the thallus; soredia granular, 20-35 μm in diam. Apothecia usually absent, or sparse and scattered, 0.3-0.6(-1) mm across, sessile, slightly to strongly constricted at base, more or less zeorine with a concave to strongly convex, yellowish orange to orange, smooth, epruinose disc, and an inconspicuous, often excluded thalline margin; proper margin raised or level with disc, slightly paler, smooth. Epithecium yellow to yellowish orange, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, 55-80 μm thick; paraphyses not gelatinized, simple to branched, the terminal cells swollen, up to 5 μm wide, often with oil-droplets; hypothecium colourless, with oil-droplets. Asci (6-)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, broadly ellipsoid, (7-)8-12(-18) x (4-)5.5-8(-9) μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 2-3.5 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K+ dark purple-red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus and apothecia with emodin, fallacinal, parietin, parietinic acid, and teloschistin.
