Diagnosis

Medium-sized dasycladalean alga with clearly spaced-out laterals inclined upwards 60°–80° in respect to the main stem, euspondyl in arrangement. Laterals elongate, fusiform, and connected to the small main stem starting from a comparatively narrow pore. Along their distal half the laterals are clearly separated from each others. Thin calcification covering main axis and laterals.
