Carposporophyte with a basal fusion cell, much branched gonimoblast, and clavate to ovoid terminal carposporangia.

Spermatangial sori formed on tertiary or quaternary blades, with sterile midribs and margins, with initials cut off from second- and third-order rows producing an outer layer of spermatangia.”[3][5] Tetrasporangial sori formed on tertiary and quaternary blades, with tetrasporangia cut off from second-order cells in a single (or displaced to two) layer (from cortical cells also in C. multifida), with cover cells on each side of the blade dividing to form a continuous cortical layer; tetrasporangia subspherical, tetrahedrally divided.
