The type of this species was from Greenland, and was sent to me by Pro- 

 fessor Chr. Liitken under the MS. name glomerata, which he never published. 

 The original description by me in 1869, under the frame Eunephthya glomerata, 

 was as follows: It "forms an upright corallum, with a stout trunk, from all 

 sides and to near the base of which arise short subconical branches, naked at 

 their bases, like the trunk, but mostly covered with close clusters of 3 to 12, 

 roundish, verruciform polyp-cells, which are rough exteriorly, and covered with 

 numerous very rough thorny club-shaped spicula, 0-20 to 0-35 mm. long, by 

 075 to 0-125 mm. thick."
