Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, yellow, areolate or formed of aggregated, corticate squamules which are (in average) c. 190 μm thick and c. 0.7 mm wide, flat, smooth, with marginal soralia which in old thalli may cover the whole surface. Soredia (22-)26-46(-61) μm in diam., sometimes gathered into consoredia. Apothecia zeorine, 0.3-0.6 mm across, with a flat to convex disc, and a sorediate thalline margin which, in young apothecia, is hidden below the proper margin, becoming more evident in old apothecia. Epithecium orange, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless, 60-80 μm high; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched, the apical cells 3-6 μm wide. 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, in average 11 x 6 μm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) c. 4.5 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus, soredia and apothecia K+ purple-red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus and apothecia with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997).
