Description: Thallus crustose, white to grey-green, thin to irregularly warted or scurfy, but without goniocysts. Apothecia biatorine, 0.2-0.5 mm across, sessile, often confluent and appearing tuberculate, whitish, cream-coloured to pale orange-brown when dry, translucent when wet, with a flat to strongly convex disc, and a usually paler, soon excluded proper margin. Proper exciple > 6 cells thick, colourless, of radiating hyphae; epithecium colourless or pale brownish yellow, scarcely differentiated from the hymenium; hymenium mostly colourless, 35-50 μm high (30–40% of the total apothecium height), I+ blue, then reddish brown; paraphyses simple, 1-1.5 μm thick at mid-level, the apical cells sometimes clavate and to 3 μm wide; hypothecium colourless. Asci 8-spored, clavate to cylindrical-clavate, the apical dome K/I+ dark blue with a pale, conical-pointed apical cushion (axial mass) never penetrating through the entire d-layer, the wall K/I-, but the thin outer gel K/I+ blue, Bacidia-type. Ascospores 3-7-septate, hyaline, acicular but often gradually tapering at one end, often curved, (20-)25-35(-45) x 1.5-2 μm. Pycnidia rather rare, immersed, the walls colourless. Conidia thread-like, 3-7-septate, straight, (24-)28-50(-60) x 1-1.5(-2) μm. Photobiont chlorococcoid, the cells 7-10 μm in diam. Spot tests: thallus and apothecia K-, C-, KC-, P-, UV-. Chemistry: thallus without lichen substances.Note: a mild-temperate to humid subtropical lichen found on bark of broad-leaved trees, more rarely on rock, often on dry undersides of thick branches of ancient trees; in the Mediterranean belt confined to humid evergreen forests, sometimes on silicicolous mosses.
