Usually occurs on mossy, shaded trees in parks and woodland in south and western Britain, rare on damp, mossy rocks. Small green or bluish-grey 'ear-shaped' lobes with raised margins and clusters of paler soredia forming on the lobe margins. Perithecia are occasional, +/- embedded, strongly projecting on underside of thallus. Spores (5-)7 septate, 25-35(-45) x 6-9 µm Similar: Normandina chlorococca. Forms crust of goniocysts over bryophytes on base-rich bark. Distribution uncertain owing to confusion with N. acroglypta. Spores (5-)7 septate, 31-37(-39) x 6.5-8 µm
