Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, adnate, forming regular to irregular, 3-12 cm wide rosettes. Lobes flat to slightly convex, separate to more or less imbricate, 1.5-4 mm wide, with subrotund apices, the upper surface yellowish-green, smooth, shiny, epruinose and emaculate, with sparse to usually abundant, initially globose, then egg-shaped, 0.1-0.25 mm thick, 0.1-0.3 mm tall isidia with dull brown tips; lower surface black, with black, mostly simple, 0.2-0.6 mm long rhizines. Upper cortex paraplectenchymatous, of anticlinally arranged hyphae or of isodiametrical cells, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with Xanthoparmelia-type lichenan; medulla white; lower cortex paraplectenchymatous. Apothecia rather rare, lecanorine, substipitate, 2-10 mm across, with a brown disc and a smooth to isidiate thalline margin. Epithecium brown; hymenium and hypothecium colourless; paraphyses simple; hypothecium colourless. 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-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-10 x 5-6 µm. Pycnidia rare, black, immersed. Conidia bifusiform, 5-6 x c. 1 µm. Spot tests: upper cortex K-, C-, KC- or KC+ pale yellow, P-; medulla K+ yellow turning dark red, C-, KC-, P+ red, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with usnic acid; medulla with salazinic acid (major) consalazinic acid (minor) and often with norstictic and protocetraric acids (traces).Note: a mainly southern species found on siliceous rocks (including serpentine) in sunny situations, common in the Mediterranean belt, but also occurring in dry-warm Alpine valleys.
