| Thallus loosely adnate, membranaceous to coriaceous, to 4–20 cm wide. Lobes imbricate or subascending at margins, irregular, partly rounded and deeply crenate, partly irregularly incised and laciniate, 5–15 mm wide; cilia sparse to moderately dense, simple, 0.2–3 mm long. Upper surface pale grey to grey-green, dull, sorediate, without dactyls; soralia marginal, linear to subcapitate, commonly on short marginal laciniae, sometimes submarginal and punctiform; soredia granular. Lower surface with rhizines or papillae to lobe margins or with a erhizinate marginal zone 1–3 mm wide on the marginal lobes; rhizines dense, simple or squarrose, slender, to 2 mm long. Apothecia rare, submarginal to laminal, subpedicellate, 2–8 mm wide; disc imperforate or eventually narrowly perforate, concave, dark brown; thalline exciple thick, sorediate. Ascospores ellipsoidal, 13–18 × 8–11 µm wide. Pycnidia rare. Conidia filiform, 12–16 × 1–1.5 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K+ yellow; medulla K+ yellow then red, C-, P+ orange-red; containing atranorin, chloroatranorin, salazinic acid (major) and consalazinic acid (minor). | ||
| A very common, highly variable species occurring on bark or rock in all States except N.T.; a cosmopolitan species, widespread throughout the tropics and temperate areas; also on Lord Howe Is., Norkolk Is. and Macquarie Is. | ||
