Description:
The plants have a brown coloration. Blades are exclusively present on the branches, loosely arranged and alternating with each other. The branches appear to be dichotomously branched 2-5 times, or sometimes they may be simple with pointed tips. The blade margins are smooth and undivided, and a slender blackish midrib runs along them. Vesicles, which are spherical, smooth, and rounded structures, are scattered across the branches. They are typically found in the junctions between the blades and are supported by thin stalks. The receptacles are spirally arranged on the ultimate branchlets, and they are cylindrical in shape, tapering somewhat towards the upper part. These receptacles are about 2-3 mm long and are attached to 1 mm long stalks
