The thallus is firm and forms tufted, intricately intertwined, cylindrical structures. Occasionally, there are curved axes that rise from a prostrate position. These axes can either be curved and cylindrical or somewhat compressed, originating from a creeping holdfast or stolon. They are attached to the substrate by clustered unicellular rhizoids. As the erect axes ascend, they gradually narrow towards the tips. There is a distinct, lens-shaped apical cell. When viewed in cross-section, the outer cortical cells are lengthened in an anticlinal direction. The internal cortical cells are rounded and cluster to create a medulla consisting of larger, elongated cells that lack rhizines. Information about cystocarps is not available. The color of these plants varies from yellow to a dark red.
