Distribution: S - Cal (Puntillo 1996).
Description: Thallus crustose, episubstratic, rimose to verrucose-areolate, yellowish green, often delimited by a white, more or less arachnoid prothallus, usually subplacodioid. Areoles flat to strongly convex, thick, ecorticate. Apothecia lecanorine, constricted at base to almost stalked, 0.3-1.5 mm across with a brown or grey-brown, but heavily white- or bluish grey-pruinose, flat to convex disc, and a thin, even, smooth thalline margin, without an inner parathecial ring. Thalline exciple with an algal-free, strongly conglutinate eucortex and a more or less loose medullar plectenchyma in inner parts; proper exciple colourless, containing crystals soluble in K; epithecium brown to dark brown, with crystals, the pigment and the crystals dissolving in K; hymenium colourless; paraphyses slightly thickened at tips; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, elongate-clavate, very thin-walled, with a K/I+ blue, tall tholus penetrated by a faintly amyloid apical cushion, the wall K/I-, surrounded by a K/I+ blue outer layer, Lecanora-type. Ascospores 1-celled, hyaline, ellipsoid, 9-14 x 6-7.5 µm. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus and thalline margin of apothecia K+ yellow, C+ orange, KC+ orange, P+ pale yellow; apothecial disc (pruina) C+ yellow-orange, KC+ orange. Chemistry: atranorin (major), arthotelin (with thiophanic acid and dichlornorlichexanthone), sometimes roccellic acid.
Note: on steeply inclined or rain-sheltered surfaces of siliceous rocks, with optimum near and above treeline; known from the Mediterranean mountains, to be looked for in the Italian Alps.
