- Diagnosis
- Fertile branch-systems, the main axis bearing secondary branch-systems terminally. Large elongate-oval sporangia terminate the sub-divisions of the secondary branches, all their tips coming to the same level in the corymb-like branch-system. Secondary branches may either subdivide dichotomously, the terminal sporangia all being the same length; or the sporangia may be borne to the inner sides of the branch-system, those centrally placed being longer than the more distal. In some cases the ultimate division of the secondary branch-system is sterile.
