Polarilocular hyaline spores, elliptical, 10-15 x 4-5 (6) µm with an equatorial thickening of 4-7 µm according to our measurements. Photobiont: green algae other than Trentepohlia. Thallus: C-, K-, KC-, P-, Apothecia: C-, K+ purple, KC+/- purple, P-. Coastal species growing on bark, bare wood, hardwoods or conifers (here Cupressus), in the aerohaline zone.
