Colony stolonal, composed of hydrothecae and nematothecae arising from a filiform hydrorhiza. Hydrothecae borne on pedicels of varied length, though most are short, slender, generally smooth, occasionally with 25 basal annulations and sometimes a few irregularly-placed, additional annulations along its length, distally widening at junction with the corresponding theca, and there provided with a transverse, thin diaphragm. Hydrotheca deeply campanulate, tapering basally, walls almost parallel, aperture closed by a conical operculum, composed of 810 elongate, triangular flaps, independent from one another; flaps may be folded either inwards or outwards and, in this case, the rim is distinctly-marked. Nematothecae irregularly scattered, small, globular, borne on short pedicels, aperture apical, oval. No gonothecae observed.
