　Description： Sorocarps usually solitary, sometimes gregarious or clustered, bearing 2-14 nodes, with 1-10 branches per whorl, with conspicuously lengthened terminal segments, not phototropic, often prostrate. Sorophores colorless, sinuous, 4.2-13.5 mm in length, bases clavate, 13.9-33.2 μm in diam at the thickest part, tips acuminate or obtuse, simple, 2.8-5.5 μm in diam at a level 50 μm below the top, terminal segments 640-1520 μm. Branches delicate, 48-240 μm in length. Sori white, globose, terminal sori 16-80 μm in diam, lateral sori 15-80 μm in diam. Spores hyaline, oblong, usually 1.4-2.6 times longer than broad, mostly 5.0-7.7 × 2.2-3.9 μm, with conspicuous unconsolidated polar granules. Pseudoplasmodia radial, centralized, migrating with sorophore formation.
