The genus is characterized by a micro-foliose to micro-fruticose thallus and contains eight species, two of which were reported in South Korea. During the excursion of a Korean lichen flora investigation, some suspected specimens were collected, and their morphological, chemical, molecular phylogenetic, and geographic analyses were conducted. The samples eventually proved to be a new species, , which can be recognized by a small, yellow lobate thallus with a pulverulent surface, and a fragile lobe margin with blastidia or phyllidia-like lobules.
该属的特征是具有微叶状至微灌木状的叶状体，包含8个物种，其中2个在韩国有报道。在韩国地衣植物区系调查的考察过程中，采集了一些疑似该属的标本，并对其进行了形态、化学、分子系统发育和地理分析。这些样本最终被证明是一个新物种，即[新物种名称]，其特征为小型、黄色叶状的叶状体，表面有粉状物质，叶边缘脆弱，有芽体或类似叶状的小叶。
