Verrill, 1865 (neither of these gorgonian genera), where sclerites are described as minute, flattened rods (rods here have a bit of depth). Further examinations (multiple species) revealed that some individual colonies of species in the genus did not have these conspicuous rod forms (having only spindles and capstans). Other colonies displayed spinous spindles and/or capstans and anthocodial rods; some few species had only the fingerbiscuit rods, numerous throughout all tissue structures. The rod form is not always easy to obtain in a sclerite array; some specimens without rods may actually have them, but they may be quite small, not very numerous and very widely scattered. A trend observed is that

further north in the Pacific (Alaska) have very obvious rods, while specimens of some of the same species collected in California (specifically central and southern California) may have rods, but infrequently. By way of comparison, in several species from the genus examined from waters in/near New Zealand, some had only rods, and no other form of sclerite. It appeared that colder, temperate to subpolar species had the rods (to the exclusion of all others) but species from warmer, albeit temperate water, tended to display a minimal number or complete absence of rods. Examination of many more specimens, collected in both hemispheres from poles to equator, could reveal further insight into the appearance of this key sclerite form. To further clarify questions surrounding location ranges for each of the
