Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, yellow to orange, closely attached, forming regular to irregular, up to 2.5 cm wide rosettes. Lobes to 3 mm long, 0.2-0.5 mm wide, flat to moderately convex, adjacent, pruinose and expanded at tips, with laminal, ulcerose, bright lemon yellow, round, sometimes confluent soralia bearing farinose soredia. Cortex paraplectenchymatous, with granules insoluble in K; medulla prosoplectenchymatous. Apothecia rather rare, in the areolate-verrucose central parts of the rosettes, adnate, 0.4-0.8 mm across, orange, with a more or less persistent, often granulose, orange thalline margin. Epithecium orange, with a granular epipsamma reacting K+ red; hymenium colourless, 65-80 μm high; paraphyses simple to forked, 2-2.5 μm thick at base, with 1-3, swollen, globose, up to 5.5 μm wide apical cells; hypothecium colourless. 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, thin-walled, 10-16 x 5-7 µm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 2.5-4.5 µm, less than 1/3 of spore length. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K+ red, C-, KC-, P-. Chemistry: thallus with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997).Note: a mainly temperate, probably holarctic species found on hard limestone and dolomite in rather shaded and sheltered situations, often on faces seldom wetted by rain. Some records from the Alps could refer to the superficially similar L. proteus.
