- Main axis 3–5mmwide. Lateral branching systems 20–40 mm long, with axes 2–4mmwide proximally and 0.5–1 mm distally; branching angles: 60–90°. First segment of the lateral branching systems 4–6 mm long, shorter than the next order segments. All axis orders, except for the possible rhizome, bearing triangular enations all over the surface. Enations of the main axis 0.6–1.7 mm wide at their base and up to 1.5 mm long; enations on lateral
