<paragraph pageId="33" pageNumber="34">The holotype (RMNH Coel. 41937) consists of a large number of branches probably belonging to one colony broken up while collecting (Fig. 87a). The largest fragment, with the holdfast, is 6.5 cm long. The stem is 10 mm long and 3 mm wide; branching is in one plane. A few anastomoses are present. The polyps are situated on one side of the colony. The calyces are dome-shaped, about 0.5 mm high and 1 mm wide. Many polyps are expanded. Points with slightly bent spindles up to 0.20 mm long, distal end with more developed tubercles (Fig. 88a). Collaret with bent spindles up to 0.25 mm long, middle part with more developed tubercles (Fig. 88b). Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped (Fig. 88c). These platelets are up to 0.15 mm long. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long (Fig. 88d). Coenenchyme with capstans (Fig. 89a) 0.05-0.07 mm long, several slightly unilaterally foliate (Fig. 89b), unilaterally foliate spindles (Fig. 89c), small clubs of the same length as the capstans (Fig. 88e); spindles 0.10-0.25 mm long (Fig. 89d); all with simple tubercles. The calyces with additional clubs, up to 0.20 mm long (Fig. 88f).</paragraph>
