Synonyms:
Description: Primary thallus squamulose, the squamules usually persisting, small, 2-4 mm wide, incised or narrowly lobed, green above, white beneath, often with bright red spots caused by mite infections, sometimes sorediate along margins and on the lower side. Podetia bacilliform, slender, hollow inside, 1.5-2(-3) cm tall, usually cupless and pointed, rarely with very narrow cups in fertile specimens, pale green, grey-green or whitish, sometimes with red spots at base, the surface partly corticate and occasionally squamulose in basal parts, otherwise farinose-sorediate, the soredia 20-50 μm in diam. Apothecia rather rare, ochraceous or pinkish brown, subspherical, terminal. Pycnidia developing at tips of podetia, with a colourless jelly. Conidia hyaline, curved. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV- or UV+ pale white. Chemistry: barbatic and 4-O-demethylbarbatic acids; rhodocladonic acid in the red spots on primary squamules and podetia (not in the apothecia!).
Growth form: Fruticose

Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
