Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, narrow-lobed, closely adpressed, forming orbicular, rarely irregular, up to 5 cm (usually less) wide rosettes. Lobes elongate and discrete to (rarely) partly imbricate, 0.4-1(-1.5) mm wide, flat, grey to brown-black in sun-forms, epruinose, sometimes with a continuous grey epinecral layer in older parts. Lower surface black, sometimes paler at lobe ends, with simple, black rhizines projecting beyond lobe margins. Upper and lower cortex paraplectenchymatous; medulla white. Apothecia frequent, lecanorine to 1-2(-3) mm across, sessile, with a black, usually epruinose disc, and a thalline margin which often has a corona of dark rhizines in the lower part. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses slender, often forked in upper part, the apical cells clavate, with a thin dark cap. Asci 8-spored, clavate, the K/I+ blue tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion with parallel or diverging flanks, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-septate, brown, ellipsoid, (16-)18-24(-27) x (7-)9-12(-13) µm, Physcia-type. Pycnidia common and usually abundant, black, immersed. Conidia ellipsoid, 3-3.5 x 1 μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: without lichen substances.
Note: a temperate to southern boreal lichen, most frequent on Fraxinus and Juglans in montane valleys, much less common than the closely related P. orbicularis, being absent from heavily disturbed areas and from eu-Mediterranean vegetation, and with narrower ecological requirements.
