Diagnosis

Stem articulated, with a smooth surface and distinct closely arranged vascular bundles. Lateral branches arising in whorls from non-swollen nodes. Leaves linear, entire-margined arranged in whorls of very numerous leaves; leaf bases consistent with leaf width, free up to the attachment at the nodal level. One to two internode vascular bundles per vallecular canal and leaf; no distinct midrib in leaves.
