R. flavosaponaria is easily distinguished from related mushrooms by the brilliant gold color, the large number of aborted branchlets, a surface that feels slippery, a lack of clamp connections, and a complex spore ornamentation. It is sometimes confused with Ramaria aurea, which only grows in Europe. Ramaria stuntzii also lacks clamps, has small spores, and aborted branchlets, but is a bright red color and not slippery to the touch. There is also a similar Ramaria species in Nova Scotia that is bronze-colored and also not slippery.

A flower develops on a modified shoot or axis from a determinate apical meristem (determinate meaning the axis grows to a set size). It has compressed internodes, bearing structures that in classical plant morphology are interpreted as highly modified leaves. Detailed developmental studies, however, have shown that stamens are often initiated more or less like modified stems (caulomes) that in some cases may even resemble branchlets. Taking into account the whole diversity in the development of the androecium of flowering plants, we find a continuum between modified leaves (phyllomes), modified stems (caulomes), and modified branchlets (shoots).
|

Flowering has been recorded between January and October, with a peak in autumn and early winter (April to June). The inflorescences, or flower spikes, arise from the end of 1 to 5 year old branchlets, and often have a whorl of branchlets arising from the node or base. Measuring high and wide, the yellow spikes often have blue-grey tinged limbs in bud, though occasionally pinkish, mauve or mauve-blue limbs are seen. Opening to a pale yellow after anthesis, the spikes lose their flowers with age and swell to up to high and wide, with up to 80 follicles.

|
In N. disrupta, apothecia often develop on young branches from which one or more additional branchlets form, and it would seem that the continued growth of the vine-like branchlets positions the apothecia lower on the thallus. It is not so much a question of whether N. disrupta is a species but whether or not it should be recognized because it hybridizes with other species. Although hybridization has yet to be substantiated in Niebla, the species concept in the genus may likely be debated for some time due to the extreme morphological and chemical variation in the genus.

The bushy, aromatic and resinous shrub typically grows to a height of . The glabrous branchlets often have resin encrusting the ribs or entire surface. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The ascending to erect evergreen phyllodes are usually quite slender and straight to shallowly curved with a length of and a diameter of and terminate with a sharp tip.

The tree typically grows to a height of and has fibrous, grey to brown coloured bark on both the trunk and branches. It has grey to brown branchlets that are almost terete which can be densely pubescent or glabrous. Like most species of Acacia it has phyllodes rather than true leaves. The evergreen, narrowly elliptic phyllodes have a tapered base and are in length and wide.

The shrub or small tree typically grows to a height of with minni-ritchi bark and yellow flowers. The silvery coloured branchlets have small silky hairs. The silvery to grey-green phyllodes have a linear to shallowly incurved shape. Each phyllode has a length of and a width of and also are covered with silky hairs and seven to nine raised nerves on each face.

The shrub or tree has a bushy habit and typically grows to a height of less than but can reach as high as . The shrub often has over four primary erect branches that diverge at the base. The terete brown-green to brown branchlets are ribbed and hairy. It has elliptic or occasionally ovate-elliptic shaped phyllodes with a length of and a width of .

The branches of Sterculia foetida are arranged in whorls; they spread horizontally. The tree's bark is smooth and grey. The leaves are placed at the end of branchlets; they have 125–230 mm long petioles; the blades are palmately compound, containing 7-9 leaflets. The leaflets are elliptical, 100–170 mm long, and shortly petioluled The petioles are the source of the foul smell of the plant.

Species can be subdivided into three groups: species with nearly uniform polypar spines, species with slightly irregular polypar spines and normal hypostomal spines and species with slightly irregular polypar spines and reduced hypostomal spines. Comparing four members of the genus, as described by Opresko, Aphanipathes sarothamnoides, Aphanipathes salix, Aphanipathes verticillata, and Aphanipathes pedata all exhibit bushy, irregular branching corallum with mostly straight, elongated, upward branches. Members of this genus tend to have uniserially arranged branches and branchlets, except for A. salix. A. columbiana colonies take a fan-shape that exhibits 9th order and greater branching with colonies growing in height usually less than 12 cm, but as high as 25 cm. Branchlets are ≤0.15mm in diameter, have smooth, needle-like spines usually 25mm tall or shorter and spaced 0.18-0.31 mm apart; polyps are spaced 0.27-0.36mm apart and are 0.55-0.65mm in transverse diameter.

The flower buds are arranged on the ends of branchlets in groups of seven on a branched peduncle long, the individual buds on pedicels long. Mature buds are oval, long and wide with a rounded operculum. Flowering has been recorded in January, May, June, July and October and the flowers are white. The fruit is a woody, cup-shaped capsule long and wide with the valves usually below the rim level.

Territories are about 5000 m2 in size. The breeding season is protracted, lasting from July until March. The nest is cup-shaped and placed in the outer branchlets of a tree or shrub; it is made of grass and bark, bound with cobwebs, decorated with spider egg-sacs, and lined with soft material. The first eggs are laid in mid-August and the last in mid-January to late February.

Tall evergreen trees with smooth greyish white bark, flaking in mature trees, with straight boles, frequently buttressed. The branches are horizontal often with series of knob-like tubercles (for cauliflorous attachment of flowers and fruits). The young branchlets and the underside of leaves are covered by golden brown peltate (or shield like) scales. Leaves are simple, alternate, glabrous, shiny green above and covered beneath with silvery or orangish peltate scales.
