This lichen has a
crustose, non-corticate, and continuous thallus with a dull, pale ochraceous appearance. It grows epiperidermally without a surrounding . The algae in the thallus are . The apothecia are
sessile, round to angular or
ellipsoidal, with a dark brown measuring approximately 0.2–0.5 mm in width, covered with a thick white granular . The of the apothecia is flush with the disc, , and equally pruinose. The has a thick layer of large crystals. The and are black, except for a
hyaline layer of large crystals on the excipulum's outside. The hamathecium is not , weakly
amyloid, with anastomosing . The
asci are cylindrical and of the
Abietina-type. are hyaline, consistently contain three
septa, curved, somewhat , and measure 13–18 by 2–3
μm.
Pycnidia were not observed in this species. The lichen's chemistry, as tested with standard chemical
spot tests, is negative for UV, C, K, KC, and Pd reactions, and no
substances were detected through the use the
thin-layer chromatography. The lichen is most similar to
Lecanactis dubia and
Lecanographa illecebrosula, but differs from them in ascospore size, apothecium margin characteristics, and chemical reactions. ==Habitat and distribution==
