Aerial branches erect, bushy and much-branched, usually less than 30 cm tall, leafy throughout; main stem rigid, occasionally trailing or almost decumbent; ultimate branchlets more or less erect and close to main axis. Leaves spirally arranged and closely overlapping, spreading, linear-lanceolate, 3–5 mm long, less than 1 mm wide; base decurrent; apex incurved, sharply acute or mucronate. Strobili terminal, solitary or paired, sometimes branched, erect, narrow, 2–5 cm long, on slender stalk bearing distant scale-like leaves. Sporophylls closely overlapping, broadly ovate; margins entire, membranous, pale; apex long, spreading or recurved.
