Rivularia is found growing on submerged stones, moist rocks, and damp soils near the riverside. It is found in colonies, and the
trichomes are radially arranged within a colony, with each trichome wholly or partially surrounded by a gelatinous sheet. The trichomes have a basal
heterocyst. Each trichome has a narrow aptic portion which is whip- or tail-like consisting of a row of small cells.
Akinetes are absent in Rivularia. The species multiply with the aid of
hormogonia and heterocyst.
