Thalli soft, cylindrical-tubular, rose-colored, occasionally compressed, 5-15(45) cm tall, the stipes markedly intertwined; if tubular, thalli with a combination of narrow, tubular branchlets (similar to proliferations) and fine, spinelike proliferations, each of which may be proliferous in turn; if compressed, thalli bladelike, narrowly lanceolate, with proliferations appearing marginal on dried specimens.

Rare, saxicolous in sandy areas, low intertidal, Tofino, Br. Columbia; Ore.; in Calif., from Patrick's Pt. (Humboldt Co.), San Francisco, Santa Cruz Co., Monterey Peninsula, and San Luis Obispo Co. Type locality: Pt. Joe (Pyramid Pt.; Monterey Co.), Calif.
