Blainville, Manuel d'Actinologie, 1834, p. 553. A. & E. S. Gepp, 

 The Codiaceae of the Siboga Expedition 1911, p. 76, figs. 156—159. 



This species seems to be very rare at the Danish Islands 

 and is only found in deep water. 



The few specimens found here differ somewhat from the 

 description of Mr. and Mrs. Gepp 1. c. and their figure 156 which 

 I think represents the forma typica of this species.
