sheath may appear rather lengthened, in which case the polyps 
are less densely crowded and do not form a typical cluster; 
3) some of the polyps may be found completely retracted into 
and hidden in the stem; 4) in two cases the upper naked part 
of the stem with all its polyps was found retracted into and 
concealed in the “horny” part; 5) in one case the thick “horny” 
stem divides into two equal, short and clumsy, branches, each 
covered with its cuticular sheath and terminating with its cluster 
of polyps.
