high, arising from a creeping hydrorhiza (SNM HYD-001061; ROMIZ B3121) or from a root-like mass of tangled stolons with adhering fine sediments (ROMIZ B507). Hydrocaulus single and not forked, straight to slightly geniculate, bearing regular branches, strongly polysiphonic basally, gradually becoming thinner, with monosiphonic distal end.

axis of hydrocaulus divided into long internodes, each internode annulated basally, smooth elsewhere, distal end with large apophysis supporting bases of two branches as well as a single pedicel terminating in a hydranth. Perisarc of moderate thickness. Branches of hydrocaulus at proximal end of colony sometimes fascicled basally but usually monosiphonic, given off on alternate sides of central axis of hydrocaulus, usually with a pair of branches originating very close together, these diverging from each other at an angle of about 90 degrees; two closest branch pairs arising on opposite sides of hydrocaulus, the two pairs thereby sending out branches into four quadrants around hydrocaulus; branch internodes annulated basally, smooth elsewhere.

Pedicels of varied length within a single colony, either annulated throughout or smooth in middle and annulated proximally and distally, supporting a hydrotheca at terminal end.

wide at diaphragm, tapering basally, slightly flaring at distal end, adcauline wall at basal end somewhat more convex than abcauline wall. Vertical pleats extending part-way down hydrothecal wall from incision between adjoining marginal cusps. Hydrothecal margin with about 1012 cusps separated by U-shaped incisions, each cusp with two sharp-pointed lateral keels extending into hydrothecal cavity. Hydrothecal diaphragm thin, appearing straight to slightly oblique, basal chamber fairly large, cup-shaped.
