Macroscopic features

The thallus scales are up to 3 mm long, ascending and forming dense, leafy turfs. In the end they are ascending and bent back. The underside is whitish and the upper side is gray-green and without soredia. The podiums are up to 2 cm long, irregularly cup-shaped, gray-green, areolized barked and without soredia. The rim of the cup has a wart-shaped elevation (like a crown). Further podiums grow out of the cup rims. The apothecia are brown.

The thallus scales show no reaction with potassium hydroxide (K-) (or K + slightly yellowish at the edge) and with para-phenylenediamine (P +) orange-red. Podetia show no reaction with potassium hydroxide (K-) and red with para-phenylenediamine (P +).
