Dark brown, flat, erect fronds, narrowing upwards, with subdichotomous to alternate branching. Axes frequently spirally twisted. Attached to solid substrates by primary, prostrate, dichotomously branched axes.
Etymology
The genus is named to recognise the contributions of Victor W. Lindauer (1888–1964), a pioneering
New Zealand
phycologist, and, in particular, his work documenting the brown algal flora.
