Description: Thallus leprose, episubstratic, brownish orange to ochraceous yellow-orange, entirely consisting of scattered to contiguous, c. 0.1 mm thick soredia-like, globose, granules, forming an up to 0.8 mm thick, poorly delimited, not lobate crust. Apothecia absent. Pycnidia not observed. Photobiont chlorococcoid. Spot tests: thallus K+ red, C-, KC-, P-, UV+ orange. Chemistry: thallus with parietin (major), fallacinal, emodin, teloschistin and parietinic acid (minor), corresponding with chemosyndrome A of Søchting (1997).
Note: a temperate to humid subtropical species found on shaded, steeply inclined or rain-sheltered surfaces of calciferous rocks, sometimes also overgrowing epilithic mosses or even occurring on the undersides of inclined old trunks of trees with base-rich bark; certainly ranging throughout the country, below the subalpine belt.
Growth form: Leprose
Substrata: rocks
Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia
Reproductive strategy: mainly asexual, by soredia, or soredia-like structures (e.g. blastidia)
In underhangs rarely wetted by rain
