Hydrorhiza loose, tubular.

Stems simple, to 8 mm high, some giving off distal tendrils which form new stolons. Stem internodes variable in length, 0.54-0.66 mm, width at base of hydrotheca, 0.18-0.24 mm, joints oblique, best developed on short internodes, indistinct or absent on long internodes.

Hydrothecae vertical or oblique, sloping diagonally back towards the stem in a line parallel with the abcauline wall. Length of free adcauline wall 0.12-0.18 mm, fixed adcauline wall, 0.24-0.27 mm, abcauline wall, 0.21-0.30 mm long. Margin with 2 sharp adcauline teeth, and a thickening of thecal wall in the base of the abcauline sinus; width of margin 0.06-0.15 mm.

Gonothecae large, barrel-shaped, 1.531.6 mm long, 0.96-1.06 mm wide, with 6-8 deep annulations, a circlet of hooked teeth below rim. Usually 1 gonotheca on a stem, borne below the proximal hydrotheca; male and female gonophores on the one colony.
