Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, chalky white or yellowish-white in the peripheral parts, thick, forming rosettes to 20 cm in diam, the central parts often dying, leaving concentric rings of lobes. Marginal lobes contiguous, 2-3 mm long, c. 0.5 mm wide, flat or slightly convex; central part of thallus areolate-verrucose. Cortex 50-70 µm thick, densely inspersed with transparent crystals soluble in HCl, and small yellow-brown granules; medulla white, filled with crystals soluble in HCl. Apothecia lecanorine, 0.5-1 mm across, usually crowded, rounded to irregular in outline, with a brown to blackish brown, usually flat disc, and an entire to crenulate thalline margin. Epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, c. 60 µm high, inspersed with oil droplets in upper part, I+ blue; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, elongate-clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 8-12 x 5-8 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K- or K+ very pale yellow, C-, KC-, P+ yellow. Chemistry: cortex with usnic acid, medulla with psoromic acid. Note: on steeply inclined to rain-sheltered surfaces of calciferous rocks in rather dry upland areas with a rather continental climate.
