Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Könsmognad: Lm ?  range ? - ? cm Max length : 15.0 cm DL hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 7414)
Stems up to 15 cm long, polysiphonic over a great extension. Branching dichotomous and in one plane. Branches strongly contracted at their base and originating at a position corresponding to a hydrotheca. Both stems and branches flattened. Hydrothecae arranged in subopposite or alternate pairs, forming two longitudinal series. In these series, hydrothecae may be closely approximated.
Length based on stem length. Known at depths of 310 to 2727 m (Ref. 7414).
