Apothecia numerous, 1-2 per areole, 0.5-1 mm diam., immersed or sessile, not constricted at the base, discs concave, then flat to slightly convex, emerald-green to dark green, brown-green, exciple slightly erumpent, flexuous, potentially excluded when old. Ascospores simple, ellipsoid,  10-14 x 5-7 µm. Photobiont: Trebouxia. Thallus: C-, K+ pale yellow, hardly visible, KC+ yellow, Pd-.
