Description: Thallus squamulose, heteromerous, polyphyllous, rather loosely attached, forming compact mats. Squamules 2-7 x 1-2 mm, flattened, smooth, contiguous, ascending, imbricate; upper surface pale ochre-brown to dark brown, matt; lower surface dark, attached by sparse dark rhizines, with dark hyphal strands connecting the individual squamules. Upper cortex pseudoparenchymatous; medulla white. Perithecia half-immersed in the squamules, 0.2-0.4 mm across, the upper part black, without involucrellum, the lower part paler. Hymenium with numerous, globose to broadly ellipsoid green algae, the hymenial gel I+ red, K/I+ blue; hamathecium of periphyses, interascal filaments absent. Asci (1-)2-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, bitunicate, with a fissitunicate dehiscence, thin-walled, the wall non-amyloid. Ascospores muriform, long remaining pale, only finally turning brown, ellipsoid, 34-52 x c. 20 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, present in both thallus and hymenium. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
