Cells are mostly unicellular,rarely in tetrads and octads.Vegetative mature cells usually spherical, rarely oval, 7-11 (15) µm diam. Cell wall is usually thin and arranged in a bilayer. Chloroplast central, dissected into crenulated lobes with several tree-like lobes elongated at their ends. Some cells containing two chloroplasts may be also observed. The chloroplast usually contains a single pyrenoid of the crenulata-type with wide, branched tubules of curved profile, often crossing the entire pyrenoid. In symbiosis, however, the pyrenoid shows a hybrid structure (maresiae-type), characterized by displaying two discrete regions that can be each clearly assigned to different pyrenoid

; here, the pyrenoid periphery is more similar to the gigantea-type. Secondary pyrenoids may be present.Pyrenoglobuli present in the closest parts of the chloroplast stroma.The cytoplasm of old cells is sometimes yellowish, probably due to the presence carotenoid pigments, and vacuolated. Asexual reproduction involves the formation of autospores. Autosporangia (10-11 µm diam.) usually contain 4-16 (32) autospores. Sexual reproduction was not observed.
