The species is 1–10 centimetres (0.39–3.94 in) long by 1–2 millimetres (0.039–0.079 in) wide and is light green in colour.[3] It
fronds are tubular with it cell arrangement being irregular and 10 micrometres (0.00039 in) in diameter. Stellate
chloroplasts also exist. The tubes rise in groups from the center.[4] It
thalli grow as clusters which carry cylindrical and hollow tubes which arise from discoidal cushion.[5] The tubes are 1–20 millimetres (0.039–0.787 in) long and 2 millimetres (0.079 in) wide. Thallus cells are 7 micrometres (0.00028 in) wide and are angular.[6]
