Hydrotheca rather deep (55–70 µm), margin widely flaring and much everted, diameter 110–125 µm at base, 160–200 µm at rim; wall slightly asymmetrical, adaxial side tilted towards internode; desmocytes numerous, visible as refringent nodules above diaphragm. Secondary and tertiary hydrophores common and of variable length, arising from diaphragm of primary hydrothecae; pseudodiaphragm slightly marked or absent. Hydranths absent, the cnidome could not be examined. Inspected colony with mature, female gonothecae. The latter borne abundantly on stolonal tubes, along basal parts of stems (

. Long primary hydrophores were mentioned and/or figured by both Hartlaub (1905) (p. 613, fig. K3a) and Ralph (1958) (p. 335, fig. 11L). They were thought to belong to aberrant colonies, as stated by Vervoort & Watson (2003). Until more material is examined, it is difficult to say if these long hydrophores appear after mechanical breakage and a subsequent regeneration step.
