Upper surface olive-grey to grey, flat, shiny or rather waxy, smooth to rugose, foveolate, indistinctly maculate or with distinct white maculae, without isidia; soralia laminal, rarely marginal, originating from coarse pustular ridges, spreading over thallus, white or yellowish, becoming grey-brown. Medulla white. Lower surface black; lobes with a narrow, brown, naked marginal zone; rhizines dense, simple, black. Apothecia rare, sessile, 2–5 mm wide; disc concave; thalline exciple sorediate. Ascospores ellipsoidal, 11–14 × 5–7 µm. Pycnidia rare. Conidia bacilliform, 4–5 × 1 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K+ yellow; medulla K-, C+ red, KC+ red, P-; containing atranorin, chloroatranorin and lecanoric acid (major). | ||
