Note: The species is recorded in the sublittoral north to the County of Nordland in Norway, but is not very common. Thallus may be up to 30 cm, and axes have irregular or opposite branching. Side branches are often uniseriate. Growing shoots end in a hair, but otherwise hairs normally lack. The inner and rounded axial cells can be seen through the outer, angular cortex cells.
