Laimelle entire, margins obscurely undulating; exterior 
lamella regularly unequal, interior ones equal ; centre pro- 
minent, with an undulating, roughish fringe. 
This species is subject to some variety in form: the 
outer series of lamellae generally consists of alternate larger 
and smaller lamellz, but in some specimens the larger la~ 
mellze regularly and alternately vary in size. 
Tt is very common in the Mediterranean sea, and is most 
frequently found adhering to red coral (Isis nobilis).
