Found primarily in tropical and montane forests, this lichen thrives on exposed tree trunks and branches.

[2] This lichen's thallus has a straw-yellow to brownish-green colour and features a smooth to rough texture with a cracked surface.

The ascomata are thin, flat, ribbon-like, with intricate branching patterns enclosed by dark orange-red margins.

The exciple is non-carbonized, transitioning in colour from bright reddish-orange to dark red, and appears flattened at the apical region.

It closely resembles Fissurina rufula, but can be differentiated by its larger ascospores and striated exciple.
