Description. Polysiphonic stems, up to 70 mm high. Hydrorhiza rhizoidal, quite robust, formed by a few, basally polysiphonic stolons. Hydrothecae arising in an indefinite pattern. Hydrotheca (Fig. 3C–D) tubular, diameter roughly constant throughout its length. Hydrotheca bent outwards at distal part. Free portion of hydrotheca highly variable. Hydrothecal aperture circular, rim even, frequently with many renovations. Gonothecae solitary, resting on stem and branches. Gonotheca elongate, with large, circular, distal aperture (Fig. 3E). Gonothecal wall with fine transversal striation (Fig. 3E).
