Original description: 
“The corallum is ramose; and the branches are flattened 
out, but thick* 
The coenenchyma is well developed; and there is much space 
between the corallites in some parts, and less in others. It is 
very faintly granular, and is marked by a ridge which meanders 
between the calices, and includes them in more or less geometrical 
me she s. 
The calices are small, and are surrounded by a raised rim, 
which is rather wavy
