Remarks
. Though sterile, the present material is readily recognizable due to the characteristic shape of the hydrothecae, the presence of 3 internal projections of perisarc (one abcauline and 2 latero-adcauline) just below the hydrothecal aperture, and the transverse nodes of the stem. For a recent, thorough redescription of this species, see

Distribution
. Scattered records from the tropical western Atlantic: Caribbean (
