- Diagnosis
- Thallus simple, cylindrical, here and there
swelled, with a cylindrical main axis developing whorls
of up to three orders of lateral s. Primary segments of
laterals horizontal or slightly tilted, first quite large,
forming a holdfast, then either globose, or elongated,
bulgy, swollen at the tip, indicative of containing one or
two conspicuous gametangia. Secondary segments of
laterals , whenever present, around four in number, clustered
at the tip of the primaries, clavate with a proximal
peduncle. Slender third order twigs may arise from the
tip of the secondaries. A thin hyaline skeleton coats
organs separately. It is assumed of extracellular, pnmary
aragonitic origin.
