Notes:
Cells: 60/12.5-72/10 (-18/12.5 in richly branched sections)
Branching dichotomous, rarely trichotomous, tips long drawn out and hyaline. Chloroplast parietal, grass-green.
In areas with elongated cells, the chloroplast is much shorter so filament appears striped.
Cells in some areas much shorter and with rich branching and associated spherical (reproductive?) swellings.
No mucilage.
