Prothallus well developed, white to pale reddish brown. Areolae c. 0.05–0.10 mm wide, granular to elongate, plane to weakly convex, dark green or pale to dark brown, ±delicately fibrillose. Isidia usually abundant, thin, irregularly cylindrical and finely branched. Upper cortex of type 1, 5–10 μm thick. Apothecia common, 0.5–1.0 mm wide, ±rounded to irregular in outline, scattered, solitary, concave to slightly convex, yellow-brown; margin raised, usually paler than the disc, pubescent, with abundant pale projecting fibrils.
