Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, rather loosely attached, orange to yellow-orange, (0.2-)0.3(-0.6) mm thick, often covered in a finely granular, orange pruina, without vegetative diaspores, forming irregular, often confuent, up to 8(-10) cm wide patches. Lobes 0.3-1.3(-3) mm wide, strap-shaped, truncated to rounded at apex, adpressed to slightly ascending, flat to slightly concave, with an uneven surface, often irregularly overlapping also in thallus centre. Lower surface pale yellow near margins to white in central parts, attached by whitish hapters. Upper and lower corte paraplectenchymatous; medulla with hyphal strands, the lower part often with strongly gelatinized, more conglutinated hyphae. Apothecia almost always absent, lecanorine/zeorine, orange, 0.5-3 mm across. Epithecium yellow-brown, K+ purple-red; hymenium colourless; paraphyses simple or sparingly branched, swollen at tips; hypothecium colourless to pale brown. Asci 8-spored, clavate, functionally unitunicate, apically thickened with a broad internal beak, the inner part of apex and external cap I+ blue, Teloschistes-type. Ascospores 2-celled, polarilocular, hyaline, ellipsoid, often poorly developed. Pycnidia immersed into orange warts. Conidia ellipsoid, 2-2.5 x 0.7-1 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ purple-red, C-, KC-, P-, UV+ intensely orange-red. Chemistry: parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin (minor).Note: a Mediterranean-Atlantic species with optimum on basic siliceous rocks near the coast, much rarer on limestone and on eutrophicated, acid siliceous rocks.
