Description: Thallus crustose, grey to whitish, smooth to slightly warted, continuous to cracked, forming regular to irregular, up to 3 cm wide patches, rarely delimited by a pale to dark prothalline line. Apothecia common, lecanorine, sessile, 0.3-1.6(-2) mm across, with an orange to orange-yellow, at first concave, then usually flat, sometimes pruinose disc, and a smooth, persistent, grey thalline margin; proper margin very thin, usually indistinct in macroscopical view. Epithecium brownish orange, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, 55-75(-110) μm high, I+ blue; paraphyses often branched in upper part, 1-1.5 μm thick at base, the apical cells 3-5 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, ellipsoid to narrowly ellipsoid, (9-)10-17(-20) x 5-8 μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) (3-)4-8(-9) μm, 1/3-1/2 of spore length. Pycnidia immersed, black. Conidia hyaline, ellipsoid to short-cylindrical, 3-4 x 1-1.5 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ faintly violet (most evident in thick sections under the microscope), C- or C+ violet, KC-, P-; disc of apothecia K+ red. Chemistry: thallus with the Sedifolia-grey pigment; disc of apothecia with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor).
