Thallus consists of a horizontal branched stolon and erect shortly stipitate blades, 4 to 10 times longer than broad. Apices of blades slightly rounded, emarginate, rarely truncate; the margins often finely to coarsely dentate in their entire length or limited to some parts of the blade; blade unbranched or branched, branching occurs near the base of the blades. Thalli attached to sandy-muddy substrate by a rhizoidal holdfast. Erect blades up to 3 cm in height (Ref. 80758).
