"Plants moderately mucilaginous, delicate; branching irregular and abundant; apices straight, apical cells embedded within the fascicle tips; 4.0-7.0 cm high, 200-300 µm in diameter. Whorls reduced, usually distinct and separated, obconic or pear-shaped. Internode 125-400 µm long. Pericentral cells ovoid with 1-2 primary fascicles; rhizoidal filaments well developed, forming 1-2 layers of cylindrical cells. Primary fascicles straight, 4-7 cell-storeys, proximal cells elliptical or obovoid, L/D 2-5; distal cells obovoid or sub-spherical, L/D 1.1-2.0; branching dichotomous. Secondary fascicles abundant, covering the entire internode and as long as primary fascicles.
Monoecious. Spermatangia obovoid or sub-spherical, terminal or sub-terminal on primary or secondary fascicles, 5.5-7.0 µm in diameter. Carpogonial branches, helically twisted, arising from pericentral cells, composed of 4-7 disc- or barrel-shaped cells; involucral filaments short, 1-3 cell-storeys; carpogonia 42-55 µm long; trichogynes cylindrical or elongate-elliptical, 8.0-10.5 µm in diameter. Carposporophytes 1 per whorl, dense, semi-spherical or sub-spherical, higher than the whorl radius, 110-270 µm in diameter, 100-170 µm high; gonimoblast filaments 3-5 cell-storeys; cells cylindrical; carposporangia spherical or sub-spherical, 17.0-24.0 µm long, 17.0-22.5 µm in diameter."
