Description: Thallus foliose to subcrustose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, not umbilicate, multi-lobed, forming up to 7(-10) cm wide patches, the lobes interconnected, with numerous holdfasts scattered over the lower surface, (3-) 5-15(-20) mm wide, the central ones markedly sinuous, with down-turned margins. Upper surface grey-brown, usually pruinose; lower surface brown to dark brown, smooth to rugose. Upper cortex (40-)50-90(-110) μm thick, pseudoparenchymatous, of anticlinally arranged hyphae, with a brown pigment near the surface, overlain by an epinecral layer of air-filled hyphae; medulla white, of filamentous hyphae, I-; lower cortex of anticlinally arranged hyphae. Perithecia common, slightly oblong, immersed in the thallus and scattered over almost the whole upper surface (appearing as black dots), without involucrellum. Exciple colourless except in the brown uppermost part; hamathecium or periphyses and periphysoids, interascal filaments absent; hymenial gel hemiamyloid. Asci 8-spored, clavate, I-, fissitunicate, the wall thickened above, with an ocular chamber, dehiscent by extrusion of an endotunica to form a delicate rostrum, Verrucaria-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, broadly ellipsoid to subglobose, (8-)9-15(-16) x (5-)6-8(-9) µm. Pycnidia common, black, immersed. Conidia bacilliform. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
