Description: Thallus crustose, endosubstratic, poorly visible, without a distinct prothallus. Apothecia 0.2-0.5 mm across, sessile, usually scattered, with a flat to slightly concave, yellow to ochraceous yellow disc, and a concolorous or slightly paler, rather thin, smooth, persistent proper margin; thalline exciple absent, rarely developed only on the lower part of apothecia. Proper exciple orange and paraplectenchymatous in outermost part, with 6-10 µm wide cells, colourless and prosoplectenchymatous within; epithecium yellow, c. 10 µm thick, K+ red, C-; hymenium colourless, c. 80 µm high; paraphyses simple, c. 2 µm thick at base, capitate, the apical cells globose, up to 9 µm wide; hypothecium colourless. 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, broadly ellipsoid, 16-21(-25) x 5-7 µm, the equatorial thickening (“septum”) 1-2(-2.5) µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K-, C-, KC-, P-: apothecia K+ red, C-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances; apothecia with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997). Note: usually on calcareous pebbles and low outcrops in Circinaria contorta-communities, but also on concrete; mainly Mediterranean, with some records from the Western Alps. Never reported from Italy, but perhaps confused with other similar species; to be looked for further.
