Description: Thallus erect and bushy, consisting of 3–5 main axes, subdichotomously branched, with 3–9 orders of branching, 3–7 cm tall, arising from a discoid holdfast, moderately to heavily calcified. Cells of assimilatory filaments subspherical to ellipsoidal, borne on colourless medullary filaments. Gametophytes dioecious. Spermatangial parent cells cut off from apical and subapical cells; mature spermatangia 3–4 mm diam., 2 or 3 formed sequentially in chains. Carpogonial branches straight or slightly curved, 4- or 5-celled; cells of the carpogonial branch and supporting cells remaining distinct after fertilisation and no fusion cell formed. Involucral filaments initiated from the cells surrounding the carpogonial branch, branched up to 5 orders and mingling with the gonimoblast filaments. Carposporangia pyriform and uninucleate, differentiating sequentially in terminal chains; when mature, the involucral filaments morphologically similar to carposporangia-bearing gonimoblast filaments.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera, organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA) and intended to be published in CD format. These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above. The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.

Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
