Corallum consisting of clavato-turbinate and often curved tubes, rising 

 from a spongy base ; calicles half an inch high, a very little com- 

 pressed, mostly a fourth of an inch broad ; lamellae 1 to 1J lines 

 exsert, cul triform.

The calicles in this species vary from an eighth to a third of an 

 inch in diameter, but are generally about a fourth of an inch. There 

 are twenty-six to thirty lamellae in the larger calicles, and about 

 twelve of these are much the largest and nearly equal.

A. glomerato-globosum. Corallum caliculis brevissimis, truncatis, e

Glomerato-globose. Corallum with very short calicles, truncate, 

 rising from a spumous base ; lamellae elevated above the margin 

 of the cell. 



Lamarck states that the tubes are not turbinate, and the calicles 

 are very short. Described from a worn specimen of the cespitosum ?
