Pseudostromata dull, pale orange yellow, irregular in shape, starting as angular areas of up to c. 1.5 mm, but partly laterally fusing, only slightly raised above the bullate thallus, between the thallus bullae, occupying about half of the thallus.

Marbach, which up to recently (Santos Andrade et al. 2020). It shares the presence of lichexanthone, but differs by the red pigment inside the apothecium margin. In the key to Brazilian species of Gassicurtia by Santos Andrade et al. (2020) it would key out at couplet 5a, differing from G. rufofuscenscens by the thallus UV + yellow due to the presence of lichexanthone. It grows side-by-side with the next species.</p> </div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/03EF87AFFFD5FFC6FC34F993FD9306A8	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
