Foliose lichen 3-4 cm wide, with a green thallus when wet, drying grey or grey-brown with tinges of mauve.

The upper surface is pruinose and the undersides ecorticate at the tips, with black and bottle-brush-like rhizines, and white medulla. Apothecia are rare but when present have pruinose disks and have lobules around the disk margins.
