Corallum, when very young, rampant, and presenting short prominent calicular tubes, so 
as to resemble very closely Aulopora ; but by the progress of age these calicular tubes 
become very tall, and multiply by lateral gemmation, so as to form a fasciculated, 
cespitose mass, in which the corallites are rather closely set, being placed at a distance 
equal to once or twice their diameter, which is itself about one third of a line. Wails very 
thick, and covered with a strong epitheca. Corallites but slightly geniculated, geminating 
frequently, and united by only few large connecting tubes. 
Found at Dudley, Dorming Wood, Benthall Edge, Gleedon Hill. Sir Roderick 
Murchison has found it in the Wenlock limestone at Eastnor Park, Ledbury, Prescoed 
Common, Usk, Aston Ingham near Newent, and in the Ludlow rocks at Ristley Wood, 
near Newent. 
It is also met with in Gothland and Groningue. 
This species is remarkable by its corallites being very slender and straight, or slightly 
geniculated, and by the large diameter of the connecting tubes. It much resembles 
S. evilis,’ in which the corallites are, however, more flexuous and more closely set. 
The resemblance which the young specimens of this species bear to Aulopora is so 
great, that many authors have referred them to that generical division. But in different
