Distribution:

Description: Thallus foliose, heteromerous, dorsiventral, moderately adnate to appressed, forming more or less regular, up to 6(-8) cm wide rosettes, sorediate. Lobes 0.5-3 (-4) mm wide, dichotomously to irregularly branched with rounded axils and truncate tips, often suberect in central parts of thallus, rarely short-ciliate, the upper surface pale ash-grey or pale blue-grey, emaculate or faintly maculate at lobe-tips, smooth, but often patchily pustulose, the pustules tending to break off into subterminal or laminal soralia, the soredia granulose, dark blue or almost black when dry; lower surface matt, more or less veined or canaliculate, black in central parts, dark brown at margins, with short, mostly forked, sometimes simple or dichotomously branched, black or brown-black rhizines. Upper cortex of tightly packed, anticlinally oriented hyphae, with a pored epicortex, the cell walls with isolichenan; medulla white, but appearing black in the exposed parts under eroded soralia; lower cortex brown, of anticlinally oriented hyphae. Apothecia unknown. Photobiont: chlorococcoid. Spot tests: upper cortex K+ yellow, C-, KC-, P- or P+ faintly yellow; medulla: K-, C+ pink, KC+ pink-red, P-, UV-. Chemistry: upper cortex with atranorin and chloroatranorin; medulla with gyrophoric acid (major), lecanoric acid, hiascic acid, 4,5-di-0-methylhiascic acid, 4-0-methylhiascic acid (minor).

Note: a mainly Atlantic, silicicolous species, also known from Southern France, Corsica (Roux & Coll. 2014), and the southern Swiss Alps; to be looked for in Italy.

Growth form: Foliose

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)
