<paragraph pageId="28" pageNumber="29">The holotype is a 14.5 cm long fragment without holdfast (Fig. 66e). At the base the stem is 15 mm wide, the end branches are only 1 mm wide. The polyps are situated on one side of the colony, the calyces hardly project beyond the coenenchyme, and most polyps are retracted. Points with slightly bent spindles up to 0.10 mm long, distal end with more developed tubercles (Fig. 72a). Collaret with bent spindles up to 0.15 mm long, middle part with more developed tubercles (Fig. 72b). Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped with irregular projections (Fig. 72c). These platelets are up to 0.10 mm long. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long (Fig. 72d). Coenenchyme with predominantly capstans (Fig. 73a, d), double disks (Fig. 73b) and disk spindles (Fig. 73c), 0.05-0.10 mm long, and small clubs with rounded heads, 0.05 mm long (Fig. 72f). Spindles are also present, 0.10-0.20 mm long, with complex tubercles (Fig. 73e). The calyces with additional clubs, up to 0.14 mm long (Fig. 72g). The axis has smooth and sparsely tuberculate rods (Fig. 72e).</paragraph>

The material of UMUTZ-CnidG-32 was probably collected during the Ryukyu (= Okinawa) expedition by K. Mitsukuri and I. Ikeda, in April, 1901. UMZC I.36300 is dried material. According to us this is
