Plants dioecious, moderately mucilaginous, 3-8 cm high, 450-1000 μm in diameter, irregularly branched. Whorls well-developed, dense or lax, obconical or compressed, contiguous. Fascicles 2 or 3, primary fascicles straight, di-, rarely tri-chotomously branched, 8-15 cell-storeys, proximal cells ellipsoidal or fusiform, 4.5-8 μm in diameter, 17-35 μm long, distal cells ellipsoidal or fusiform, 3.5-6 μm in diameter, 5-10 μm long; cortical filaments well-developed. Secondary fascicles numerous, on all internodes, reaching the length of primary ones. Spermatangia spherical or obovoidal, 6-7 μm in diameter, terminal or subterminal on fascicles. Carpogonium-bearing branches spirally coiled, consisting of 6-9 barrel-shaped cells, arising from periaxial cells. Involucral filaments numerous, short. Carpogonia 5-7 μm in diameter at the base, 7-9 μm in diameter at the apex, 60-80 μm long, trichogyne cylindrical, club-shaped, sessile. Carposporophytes sessile, single, hemispherical, lax, higher than radius of whorls, 150-400 μm in diameter, 350-660 μm high. Carposporangia obovoidal or hemispherical, 8-11 μm in diameter, 10.5-16 μm long.
