Description: Thallus crustose-subplacodioid, episubstratic, continuous, grey to whitish grey, 0.15-0.3 mm thick, usually shortly lobed at margins, sorediate/blastidiate in central parts, forming orbicular, later often confluent, up to 4(-8) cm wide patches. Center of thallus covered in abundant, grey, diffuse, granular blastidia, marginal parts with contiguous, short, 0.2-0.6(-0.8) mm wide, corticate lobes. Cortex well-developed, up to 60 μm thick, paraplectenchymatous, obscured by colourless crystals insoluble in K and soluble in N; algal layer discontinuous; medulla with many colourless crystals. Apothecia rather rare, subsessile, flat, 0.3-0.8 mm across, with a rusty red to carmine red disc, a prominent, orange, paler proper margin, and sometimes a thin, soon disappearing, often blastidiate, sometimes pruinose thalline margin. Thalline exciple with many algae and many colourless crystals; proper exciple prosoplectenchymatous, c. 85 μm wide, with anthraquinones; epithecium brown-orange, K+ purple-red, C+ purple; hymenium colourless, 70–90 μm high; paraphyses c. 1.5 μm thick at base, the apical cells up to 3 μm wide; hypothecium colourless, prosoplectenchymatous. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-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, 13-18.5 x 7-10 μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 4-7 μm (1/3-1/4 of spore length). Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P- (but often K+ faintly violet-brown in section); apothecia K+ purple-red, C+ purple. Chemistry: cortex and blastidia with the Sedifolia-grey pigment; apothecia with chlorinated anthraquinones in both proper margin and disc: 7-chloroemodin (major), fragilin and emodin (minor), sometimes traces of parietin.
Growth form: Crustose
Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
