Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, forming 4-7 cm wide rosettes, isidiate. Lobes (2-)3-4(-7) mm wide, contiguous to imbricate, adpressed but sometimes slightly ascending at margins, brown to olive-brown, usually dull, but sometimes shiny at lobe tips, epruinose, with abundant, cylindrical, simple to coralloid, 0.05-0.18 mm thick, not hollow isidia arising from conical papillae, with apical pseudocyphellae. Lower surface pale brown, slightly darker at margin, with mostly simple rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, with a non-pored epicortex, the cell walls containing isolichenan; medulla white; lower cortex paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia very rare, lecanorine, with a brown disc and an isidiate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 8-12 x 4-7 µm. Pycnidia rare, black, laminal. Conidia slightly dumbbell-shaped, c. 7 x 1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, N-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.Note: a mild-temperate lichen found on old trees (e.g. oaks, Castanea), more rarely on siliceous rocks (Roux & coll. 2014), with optimum in the montane belt; common in the Apennines, rare in Northern Italy, and absent from urban areas.
Growth form: Foliose, broad lobed
