The type specimen was collected between Swakopmund and Hentiesbai in the Namib (a coastal desert in Southern Africa).

This signifies that all specimens were discovered on allochthonous limestone, meaning stones not originally part of the sediment layer in that specific region.

[2] The thallus of this crustose lichen has a pale beige to rose surface that changes the colour of the white limestone it inhabits.

[2] The proper margin of the apothecia is thin and black, with a narrow, poorly differentiated exciple containing deep blue and reddish-brown pigmentation.

The hymenium is hyaline, and the paraphyses are simple to moderately branched with a deep blue pigmented cap.
