Corallum composite or fasciculate, massive, attached by the base, com- 

 posed of polygonal, subpolygonal or cylindrical corallites whose walls are 

 imperforate and when contiguous are not completely amalgamated. 

 Septa lamellar, generally well developed and alternately long and short, 

 the primaries nearly or quite reaching the centre of the visceral chamber •

 horizontal and complete, but sometimes their continuity in the same plane 

 is broken by the septa. When the corallites are separate and cylindrical
