Morphological Characteristics

Cells joined in long curved or spiral colonies, more rarely observed as a single cell. In girdle view the valves appear cylindrical with clearly distinct cingular bands. The valves are flat with rounded edges. From the valvar margin emerges a thick dorsal spine, which enters a depression in the adjacent valve, thereby joining two cells. Numerous small elliptical chloroplasts are dispersed throughout the cell.
