Thallus minute (usually 20–100 µm in diameter), forming more-or-less circular discs of radiating filaments usually closely adherent laterally, with a marginal row of single or often furcate apical cells, branching from the marginal cells, becoming 2–3 cells thick centrally; cells 4–8 µm in diameter and 6–10(–25) µm long, rhodoplasts parietal, laminate, with a single pyrenoid.

Reproduction. By monospores from sporangia cut off from central cells of the disc.

Distribution. Cosmopolitan. In southern Australia probably widespread but rarely preserved in herbaria. Cottesloe, W. Aust., around southern Australia and Tas., to Palm Beach, N.S.W.
