Distribution: N - Ven, TAA (Nascimbene & al. 2022), Piem (Morisi 2005), Emil (Jatta 1909-1911, Fariselli & al. 2020), Lig. C - Tosc (Jatta 1909-1911), Sar (Nöske 2000, Nöske & al. 2000). S - Camp (Jatta 1909-1911), Pugl (Jatta 1909-1911).

Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, closely adnate, up to 6 cm in diam., sorediate. Lobes separate, linear, 0.5-1.5 mm wide, flat, the terminal parts not markedly expanded. Upper surface dark olive-brown to blackish, paler olive-brown in shade-forms, dull, smooth to reticulate near the periphery, without pseudocyphellae, with discrete, capitate soralia at the tips of lateral lobes, the soredia whitish. Lower surface dark brown to black, with scattered, dark, simple rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, with a non-pored epicortex, the cell walls containing isolichenan; medulla white; lower cortex paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia rare, up to 2.5 mm across, lecanorine, sessile or short-stipitate, with a concave to flat disc, and a usually sorediate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-11 x 4.5-6 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K-, C-, KC-, P-, N-; medulla K-, C -, KC- or rarely KC+ very faint pink, P-, UV+ white. Chemistry: medulla with perlatolic and stenosporic acids (both major).

Note: on vertical seepage tracks of siliceous rocks, mostly in upland areas. All records from continental Italy (see Nimis 1993: 484) require confirmation.
