A lichen with the amyloid medulla (I+ blue) and characteristic anatomy of the apothecial margin, which is brownish-orange inside and forms a conspicuous orange-red solution when KOH is added to the microscopic slide (leptocline-type according to Scheidegger 1993). Macroscopically it resembles, for example, the species Adelolecia pilati.
The lichen grows on rain-exposed surfaces of siliceous rocks. In Europe, it is rather a rare member of the genus with a boreal-montane to arctic-alpine distribution. There are a few historical records from the Czech Republic, mostly from the high mountain ranges (see the Catalogue by Vězda & Liška 1999). Recently it is known from the Mt Keprník in the Jeseníky Mountains, Velká Pleš in the Křivoklát region, Slavkovský les Highlands and Povydří in the Šumava Mountains.
