Description Thallus consisting of prostrate and erect uniaxial axes; uprights compressed to flattened, sparsely, irregularly or pinnately branched; sometimes with pinnae and pinnules arising at almost right angles to the parent branch; rhizines concentrated in the inner cortex and interspersed between medullary cells; prostrate system of robust, extensively branched stolons, with peg-like haptera of endogenously derived rhizoidal filaments and exogenously derived multicellular corticating filaments. Tetrasporangia arranged irregularly or in shallow V-shaped parallel rows. Cystocarps unilocular where known. Distinguished from the three current families of the Gelidiales by individual and concatenate five-gene phylogenies [details]
