The white, dot-like pseudocyphelles on the leaf are characeristic. Pseudocyphelles are white, dot- or linear openings. They serve for gas-exchange and often they are the starting points of sorales. Microscopy, Stereomicroscope, Microfoto |

The backside is brown at the border and black at the inner part. The brown border shows no rhizines in the black, inner part there are some single, short peaked rhizines. In contrast to Cetrelia cetrarioides mostly there are no pseudocyphellae on the underside of Cetrelia monachorum. Microscopy, Stereomicroscope, Microfoto |
