This crustose-placodioid lichen grows in yellow rosettes on siliceous, rock in South Africa. The upper surface is often bleached and wrinkled toward the center of the rosette, and speckled with black, lecideine apothecia. Being that D. africana is a) crustose b) saxicolous and c) endemic to the southern hemisphere, it shouldn't be surprising that this lichen appears to be largely understudied, and it might be more widespread than currently recognized.

This foliose lichen grows in rounded rosettes up to 3 cm in diameter. It has narrow, elongated lobes closely attached to the substrate. The upper surface is gray-brown when dry, and bright green when wet! And the lower surface is black with long, simple rhizines. It produces powdery soredia from capitate or labriform soralia on the lobe tips. It only rarely produces apothecia, which have a rhizinate margin and a brown disc. It has a green algal photobiont. P. pusilloides grows on nutrient-enriched, deciduous trees in temperate, montane valleys in North America and Europe.
