The corallum is rather flabelliform, compressed, especially inferiorly, has a narrow but 

 elongated base, with the remains of former adhesion, and an elliptical and deep calice. 



The epitheca is very strong, transversely ribbed, and folded, moreover, inferiorly ; 

 there is a projection on either side of the base. 



The calicular margin is broad and rounded. 



The septa are numerous, unequal, not exsert, crowded, and some are attached to

The septa are stout, numerous, unequal, long, and curved. The larger septa unite 

 deep in the fossa in a kind of whorl. 



There are six systems and five cycles, with part of the sixth.
