PI. , figs. 
Corallum ramose, 'branches subcircular or elliptical in 
cross-section. Length of type, 56 mm. ; greater diameter of- 
lower end, 16 mm., lesser, 13 mm.; width of upper end (which is 
bifurcating) about 30 mm. 
Calices, moderately deep, usually deformed, one diameter 
longer than the other. A small calice has a greater diameter 
of 1.7 mm., lesser, 1.3 mm.; a rather large calice has diameters 
measuring 2.3 and 1.6 respectively. The distance apart of the 
A 
calices varies from 1.3 to slightly more than 2 mm. Calicular 
margins scarcely elevated -- there is no distinctly ele- 
vated rim. Coenenchymal surface corroded -- apparently there 
are low costae and small granulations. 
Septa, in the larger calices, in three cycles, the last 
very small; their outer ends thick, the inner portions thin. 
Upper margins very slightly exsert. Margins dentate.
