Thallus irregular, up to 30 cm diam., moderately branched, with 3-5 branches per 5 cm radius, branching pleurotomous to polytomous; lobes ligulate to laciniate, adjacent to interspaced, plane to involute, with their apices rounded to obtuse and plane and their margins entire, slightly thickened; lobe internodes (7-)10-18(-20) mm long, (5-)10-15(-18) mm broad; thallus coriaceous. Upper surface scrobiculate, pitted or rarely rugose, yellowish-brown and darkening towards the margins when dry, with brown marginal line, shiny; surface glabrous, without papillae, pruina and maculae; marginal cilia absent, but extension of the lower tomentum visible. Apothecia sparse, principally laminal, pedicellate, without pronounced invagination on lower side, up to 0.5 mm diam.; disc brown to red-brown, shiny; margin crenate to verrucous, light cream-brown. Vegetative propagules absent. Lower surface scrobiculate to undulate or faveolate, beige to dark brown towards the centre; primary tomentum dense, thick, but thinner towards the margin, fasciculate, soft, brown often with whitish tips; secondary tomentum present, pubescent to arachnoid. Rhizines sparse, irregularly dispersed, often in groups, fasciculate to barbate, brown with paler tips, up to 1 cm long. Cyphellae 41-60 per cm2 towards the thallus centre and more than 100 per cm2 towards the margin, scattered, rounded to slightly elongate, urceolate with wide pore, erumpent to sessile, remaining below the level of the primary tomentum, with the margin elevated and involute, brown-coloured, without tomentum; pore (0.3-)0.5-1.8(-2.5) mm diam.; basal membrane scabrid, white to yellowish-white. Medulla compact, white. Pycnidia present.</paragraph>
