It is altogether likely that several described forms, where the description was based on 

 young colonies (as was probably the case with several included in the above synonytny), should 

 be included here.

Colony unbranched, 64 cm. long. Axis calcareous, rigid proximally and flexible distally, 



with a round cross section. There is a median dorsal and ventral line which is free from 



calyces, narrow luit evident. The diameter of the colony is 6.6 mm., and of the axis 3 mm. 



thickly and evenly emplanted on all sidos of the colony, except <>n the narrow 



.m lines. Their arrangement is hard to make out, luit they tend toward oblique rows of
