Drachiella is a genus of marine red alga. It has scaly thickenings; also "rhizoids fringing openings".It is found below the kelp zone in areas exposed to moderate wave action; it is irrideccent, and consistes of a short, narrow stipe broadening into midribless thalli which reach 7 cm in length. Drachiella exhibits diffuse intercalary and marginal growth, and rhizoids are common along the margins, which it uses for anchorage. Pit connections often link adjoining cells.
