[2] It is found on Mount Maria in the Falkland Islands, where it grows in grassland and Empetrum-heath.

It was first formally described as a new species by lichenologists Dag Øvstedal, Ralph Common, and Alan Fryday.

In the younger branches, the medulla might be occasionally visible; however, in most cases, they remain sealed and manifest a blackish colour.

Soralia, on the other hand, are spherical, with diameters ranging between 0.3 and 0.5 mm, and share the same colour as the thallus.

The cortex is reminiscent of the Nodobryoria type, featuring pseudoparenchymatous surface cells that present a knobbly appearance.
