Thallus irregular to suborbicular, subcoriaceous, up to 15 cm diam., moderately branched, with 3-5 branches per 5 cm radius, branching polytomous to anisotomic; lobes ligulate to flabellate, adjacent, plane to involute, with their apices rounded and involute and their margins entire to crenate and not thickened; lobe internodes (2-)3-5(-7) mm long, (3-)6-8(-10) mm broad. Upper surface pitted to rugose-foveolate towards the centre, beige brown with slightly darker apices when dry, shiny; surface glabrous, without papillae and pruina, with orbicular to irregular, scattered, pale beige maculae; marginal cilia absent, but extension of the lower tomentum visible. Apothecia abundant, mostly laminal or submarginal, dispersed or rarely grouped in four, subpedicellate to pedicellate, without pronounced invagination on lower side, up to 2.5 mm diam.; disc orange-brown or yellow (in young apothecia), shiny, concave in young apothecia, convex in older; margin entire to weakly crenate, light brown, not visible from surface view in mature apothecia. Vegetative propagules in the form of flattened and branched isidia developing especially on margins into spathulate lobules, aggregate, branched, horizontal, up to 0.25 mm long and 0.5 mm broad, darker than the thallus, brown grey, shiny. Lower surface undulate and veined, beige to light brown towards the centre; primary tomentum dense, but absent towards the margin, thick, but thinner towards the margin, spongy to fasciculate, soft, beige to brown in older parts; secondary tomentum present, pubescent, sparse. Rhizines absent. Cyphellae 1-20 per cm2 towards the thallus centre and 21-40 per cm2 towards the margin, scattered, rounded or elongated, urceolate with wide pore to cupuliform, prominent, remaining below the level of the primary tomentum, with the margin erect to raised and involute, cream to brown coloured, with tomentum; pore (0.25-)0.5-0.7 mm diam.; basal membrane scabrid, white. Medulla compact, white. Pycnidia present, immersed.
