Description: Thallus crustose-placodioid, episubstratic, forming continuous, irregular, up to 8-10 cm wide patches, the central parts glaucous grey-green, the marginal lobes up to 1 mm wide, white-pruinose at margins and at tips. Central part of thallus with raised lobules producing blastidia or breaking into soralia-like structures. Apothecia infrequent, lecanorine, up to 1.5 mm across, with an initially flat, then strongly convex, brown, pruinose or epruinose disc and a crenulate, then often excluded thalline margin. Epithecium brownish; hymenium colourless, 60-70 µm high, K/I+ blue; paraphyses simple, coherent; hypothecium colourless, 80-100 µm high. Asci 8-spored, cylindrical-clavate, with a K/I+ blue outer coat and a K/I+ uniformly blue apical dome, approaching the Catillaria-type. Ascospores (0-)1-septate, hyaline, narrowly ellipsoid, (10-)14-18 x 2.5-4 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: cortex and medulla C-, K-, KC-, P- or rarely P+ faintly yellow. Chemistry: medulla with terpenoids and unidentified substances, rarely with atranorin.
Note: on calcareous rocks in open to sheltered situations; for further details see Guttová & al. (2014).
Growth form: Crustose placodiomorph
Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
Most common in areas with a humid-warm climate (e.g. most of Tyrrenian Italy)
