Extract

Diagnosis.—Corallum massive and probably nodular. Corallites polygonal, often pentagonal, and, where the walls are not well defined, appear circular. Calices from 2 to 3 mm. in diameter; the width of cœnenchyma separating them varies from ·5 to 2 mm. Septa twenty-four in number, subequal; the trabeculæ are distinct in some and in others fused together. Pali rounded; they occur in three crowns, the primary pali being larger than the others. They are sometimes quite separate from the septa, and sometimes completely fused with the septal ends. Together with the columella they occupy a space equal to one-third of the diameter of the clayx. Columella fairly large, though somewhat irregularly developed. Occasionally it is so small as to appear papilliform, but it is generally clearly fascicular.
