APOTHECIA 0.8-1.5 mm diam., scattered, superficial, short-stipitate. DISC concave, pale orange-brown, smooth. RECEPTACLE cupulate, concolorous, clothed with whitish hairs, sometimes pale brownish in dried apothecia. STIPE central, usually slightly tapered, shorter than disc diameter, concolorous, often smooth near the base. HAIRS mostly 60-90 x 2.5-3.5 µm, hyaline, cylindric, usually flexuous, obtuse, thin-walled, septate, finely granulate throughout and bearing abundant particles and irregular masses of yellow-brown or amber coloured resinous matter. ASCI (80-)90-100 x 7-8 µm, 8-spored, narrowed at the base, apex conical, the pore strongly blue in Melzer's reagent. ASCOSPORES 13-20 x 2.2-2.8, mean 15 (SD 1.3) x 2.6 (SD 0.1) µm, hyaline, fusoid, straight, often slightly inequilateral, containing a row of guttules, non-septate, irregularly biseriate. PARAPHYSES cylindric or rarely narrowly lanceolate, tapered and usually pointed at the apex, sparsely septate, sometimes branched, hyaline, 2 .0-2.5 µm diam., scarcely exceeding the asci. SUBHYMENIUM not clearly differentiated. MEDULLARY EXCIPULUM composed in the stipe of vertically oriented, undulating and slightly interwoven hyphae 2-3 µm diam., continuing into the receptacle and forming at the centre and in a narrow layer in the flanks, a compact textura intricate of slightly narrower hyphae 1.5-2.0 µm diam. A compact layer of similar, parallel hyphae lies adjacent to the ectal excipulum. ECTAL EXCIPULUM a compact, hyaline layer 25-30 µm thick, composed of narrow, prismatic cells mostly 12-20 x 3-4 µm, with thin or slightly thickened walls, lying in rows at a low angle to the surface.

On dead bark. Known only from the holotype collection.

Apothecia 0.8-1.5 mm diam., dispersa, superficialis, brevistipitata. Discus concavus, laevis, pallide aurantiaco-brunneus. Receptaculum cupulatum, concolor, pilis albidis vestitum. Stipes centralis, disci diametro brevior, prope basin saepe laevis. Pili 60-90 x 2.5-3.0 µm, hyalini, cylindrici, flexuosi, obtusi, muris tenuibus, septati, omnino tenuiter granulati, particulas resinosi succinicoloris gerentibus. Asci 90-100 x 7-8 µm, 8-spori, apice conici, poro in Melzero caerulescente. Ascosporae 13-20 x 2.2-2.8 µm, hyalinae, fusoideae, guttulae serialae continens, non-septatae. Paraphyses cylindrici, raro angusti lanceolati, apice saepissime acuti, septati, hyalini, 2.0-2.5 µm diam. Excipulum ectale hyalinum 25-30 µm crassum, e cellulis angusti prismaticis, 12-20 x 3-4 µm, muris tenuis vel leviter incrassatis, in seriebus superficiei parallelis dispositis sistens.
