Soredia derived from pseudocyphellae, in lines as a coarse reticulum, or becoming confluent. Lower surface black with little or no naked marginal zone, densely rhizinate. Rhizines black, simple to squarrosely branched. Apothecia and pycnidia not seen in New Zealand material. Chemistry: Cortex K+ yellow; medulla K+ yellow → red, C-, KC+ red, Pd+ orange.
