Little-branched thin stems, up to 55 mm high. Hydrocaulus slightly polysiphonic basally (e.g., 55 mm high stem slightly polysiphonic at basal 15 mm); accompanying tubes arising at base of pedicels and running downwards. Stems giving rise directly to pedicels or forming short, primary branches with up to three pedicels. Few short pedicels with hydranths. Perisarc completely ringed (from stems to pedicels). Primary branches strongly directed upwards, alternately arranged basally, but with spiral arrangement distally (one whorl every third branch). Primary branches short, usually acting as pedicels with single polyp; only few primary branches more developed, up to 5 mm long, with up to three short pedicels on upper side, forming an acute angle. Only few, well-preserved, white polyps present, 350–400 µm high, with 16–20 filiform ... : Published as part of ÁLVARO L.
