Thallus thick, rather pale ochre-yellow, irregular and lumpy, with convex, pruinose areoles and lacking well-defined marginal lobules; apothecia urn-shaped when young, becoming flat or only slightly convex, discs brownish orange, thalline margins thick, pruinose. Generally on limestones and mortar, frequent only in south-east England and East Anglia, very local on base-rich and generally coastal rocks elsewhere.
