<paragraph pageId="26" pageNumber="27">The holotype is a 8 cm long fragment with holdfast (Fig. 66d). At the base the stem is 3 mm wide, the end branches are only 1 mm wide. The polyps are situated bilaterally on the branches, the calyces are dome-shaped, and most polyps are expanded. Points with slightly bent spindles up to 0.20 mm long, distal end with leaves (Fig. 70a). Collaret with bent spindles up to 0.30 mm long, middle part with more developed tubercles (Fig. 70b). Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped with irregular projections (Fig. 70c). These platelets are up to 0.15 mm long. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long (Fig. 70d). Coenenchyme with predominantly capstans, double disks (Fig. 70f) and disk spindles (Figs 70g, 71c), 0.05-0.15 mm long, and small clubs (Fig. 71a), up to 0.10 mm long. Spindles are also present, 0.10-0.25 mm long, with simple tubercles (Fig. 71d). The calyces with additional clubs, up to 0.15 mm long (Fig. 71b).</paragraph>
