Several cream-white specimens, of which the largest has a maximum height of 3 cm., 
with a length and breadth of 6.5 cm. and 5.5 cm. 
Besides having numerous short white lobes, superficially somewhat flattened and mutually 
compressed, with close-set but relatively large polyps, this species shows as its most characteristic 
feature (a) a great abundance of dumb-bells of varied sizes with very marked neck, and heads 
covered with minute asperities, and corresponding exactly to those described and figured by 
Klunzinger ; (b) there are also, but less abundantly, rough-ended dumb-bells with markedly 
rounded prominences; (c) there are also more cylindrical to spindle forms with zones of rounded 
warts, with neck absent or ill-defined. 
Dimensions of the spicules are as follows: 
(a) up to 0.06 X 0.03 mm.; 
(b) 0.09 X 0.05 mm.; 
(c) 0.09 X 0.04 mm..

A brownish white colony, with short stumpy secondarily lobed lobes, not compressed, 
with a maximum height of 1.9 cm., with a length and breadth of 4.7 cm. and 3.3 cm. respectively. 
A large typical specimen from Station'313 has a maximum diameter of 15.5 cm., with 
a breadth of 10 cm., and a height of 4.7 cm. A small specimen from the same station has a 
maximum diameter of 2.8 cm. and a height of 1.8 cm. 
This species belongs to the series with blunt finger-like lobes not crowded. (1) There 
are large double spheres, with numerous pointed roughnesses on the broad spherical ends, 
and in most cases with little waist; (2) smaller more cylindrical types, with less expanded ends, 
with a relatively long clear waist region (probably growth stages of the large double spheres); 
(3) numerous minute ovals or figures-of-eight, with or without a waist. 
Dimensions of the spicules are as follows: 
(1) a maximum size of 0.08X0.05 mm.; 
(2) 0.05 X 0.02 mm.; 
(3) 0.04 X 0.02 mm..
