Ecology: Biotroph; lichenized; saxicolous.

Thallus: Foliose, subdivided into main parts, irregular, lobed; lobes imbricate (barely imbricate); separate thallus parts 1-3 mm wide. Thallus Size and Differentiation: 6-8 cm in diameter; apex rounded. Upper Surface: Lime green (pale yellow-green, darkening with age, lobe margins often black), matt; fissurate (developing cracks and becoming areolate); fissures transversely oriented oriented; immaculate; wrinkled (older central lobes becoming rugose); not isidate; not sorediate; not lobulate.
