This acid bark lichen of deciduous trees is scarce in Ireland. It resembles the common epiphyte B. laurocerasi (described elsewhere) but is characterised by its slightly smaller discs and purple-violet, K+ green epithecium (top layer of the disc). It is found chiefly in old woodlands. Absent from southern Ireland.
