| Thallus adnate, to 2–10 cm wide. Lobes imbricate, variable, sublinear-elongate to subirregular and apically rounded, sometimes subdichotomously branched, 1–3 mm wide; cilia sparse to moderately dense, 0.1–0.5 mm long, black. Upper surface pale grey to greenish grey, flat to convex, shiny, emaculate, smooth, without soredia; isidia moderately dense to dense, cylindrical, erect, often branched, less than 0.5 mm high. Medulla white. Lower surface black; rhizines moderately dense, simple, black. Apothecia very rare, sessile, 1–4 mm wide; disc concave; thalline exciple isidiate. Ascospores broadly ellipsoidal, 9–13 × 5–8 µm. Pycnidia rare. Conidia cylindrical, 3–4 × 1 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K+ yellow; medulla K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-; containing atranorin, chloroatranorin, lecanoric acid (major) and, rarely, traces of orsellinic acid. | ||
