Apothecia sessile to adnate, 0.5–1.7 mm diam.; disc pale orange to brown, with a thin whitish grey pruina or epruinose, plane when immature, soon becoming convex; margin prominent, becoming excluded or persisting and flexuose, smooth, entire, whitish to whitish grey. Cortex absent. Amphithecium with large and small crystals; small crystals soluble in KOH; algae absent or present in basal parts of the amphithecium. Parathecium hyaline, with small crystals, c. 20 µm thick. Subhymenium hyaline, c.15 µm thick. Hypothecium yellow to yellowish brown; upper part hyaline to yellowish. Epihymenium granulose with small crystals soluble in KOH, brown to yellowish brown, becoming colourless in KOH, 10–20 µm thick. Hymenium hyaline, 110–160 µm thick.
