| Thallus foliose, loosely adnate, to 7–12 cm wide. Lobes rarely imbricate, ±flat, irregular to linear-elongate, subdichotomously or irregularly branched, subascending or not, 1.5–4 (–5) mm wide, lacking lobules; margins broadly sinuate. Upper surface yellow-green, shiny, becoming dull and darkening, emaculate, smooth, lacking soredia and isidia; lobe margins commonly black. Medulla white. Lower surface pale brown to dark blackish brown; rhizines very dense, fasciculate to simple or often dichotomously branched, dark brown. Apothecia subpedicellate, 8–12 mm wide; disc concave, becoming flattened or slightly convex, dark brown; thalline exciple entire, undulating. Ascospores 8–10 × 4–6 µm. Pycnidia common. Conidia bifusiform, 5–6 × 0.5 µm. CHEMISTRY: cortex K-, UV-; medulla K+ yellow then dark red, C-, P+ orange; containing usnic acid, norstictic acid (major), connorstictic acid, ±salazinic acid and ±consalazinic acid. | ||
