Anamorph: not known.
Teleomorph: stromata absent. Ascomata apothecia, 6–13 (–25) mm diam. and 3–8 mm high, sessile, deeply cupulate, hymenium yellow-orange, sometimes with a faint brownish hue; external surface ochraceous yellow to orange, densely covered with brown short hairs. Margin densely hairy with dark brown hairs. Subhymenium and medullary exciple not distinguished, of intertwined hyaline hyphae. Outer exciple of textura yellow-brown angular cells 15–27 μm diam. Excipular hairs superficial, straight, 120–500 × 11–18 μm, brown, thick-walled (2–3 μm thick), regularly septate with the septa distinctly narrower than the outer wall, the apex acute, with a simple enlarged or bulbous base to 25 μm diam. Marginal hairs similar but longer, to 1.5 mm in length. Interascal tissue of filiform, septate, unbranched paraphyses 2–2.5 µm diam., slightly enlarged at the apex to ca 4–5 μm diam., containing orange granular carotenoid pigment. Asci cylindrical, 200–250 × 9–11 μm, quite long-stalked, arising from  croziers, operculate, 8-spored. Ascospores uniseriately arranged, 15.5–17 (–18.5) × 8–8.5 (–9.5) µm, ellipsoidal, hyaline, rather thick-walled when fully mature, mostly biguttulate but often accompanied by smaller droplets, smooth, without a gelatinous sheath.
