| Thallus foliose, tightly adnate, to 6–8 cm wide. Lobes barely imbricate, irregular, irregularly branched, 1–3 mm wide, laciniae lacking; marginal lobes with rotund apices. Upper surface pale yellow-green, darkening with age, dull, flat, emaculate, lacking soredia and isidia; older central lobes becoming rugose, developing transverse or irregular cracks and becoming areolate; lobe margins often black. Medulla white. Lower surface flat, pale tan to brown, blackening near lobe apices; rhizines moderately dense, short, slender, simple, concolorous. Apothecia sessile, 2–10 mm wide; disc deeply concave becoming ±flat, dark brown; thalline exciple smooth, entire, undulating. Ascospores 8–10 × 5–6 µm. Pycnidia common. Conidia bifusiform, 6–7 × 0.5 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K-, UV-; medulla K-, C-, KC+ rose, P-; containing usnic acid, ±loxodin, norlobaridone, ±protoconstipatic acid and ±constipatic acid; rarely containing conorlobaridone (trace) and conloxodin (trace). |  |
