Colony (Figure 1) heavy; bushy to fan-shaped, branching strictly in single plane, particularly in young colonies (≤ 20 cm height), but with branches occasionally growing irregularly as colony gets older (up to 0.6 m in height, usually less than 0.3 m); branching dichotomous, irregular and lateral, not pinnate (Figure 2A), with knobby to smooth branches. Color of live colony red or orange-red, polyps yellow to yellow-orange; axis slender, orange. Dry specimens brilliant red, rusty red, maroon-rust to black. Branches 2.0-4.5 mm in diameter, ascending into a meandering, sinuous form; terminal branches short (3.0-4.0 cm), slightly swollen at distal ends (Figure 2B). Trunk diameter measures up to ~6.0 mm. Axis in dead/dry specimens, within all branches of older part of colony, black, smooth, without conspicuous striations; in branches of younger portions of colony, maroon. Outer layer of axis abundantly loculate, texture of axis weak, flexible in terminal portion of branches, rather brittle in base area. Polyps with weak operculum, composed of two to four curved spindles in every segment, arranged en chevron; sclerites in polyps not arranged transversely, not forming collaret. Polyps able to retract down to surface or upper marginal edge of low to moderate calyces, these moderately elevated as low bumps off branch surface (0.5-0.8 mm tall, 1.2 mm across), situated some 2.0-2.5 mm distance apart, distributed over entire surface of all branches; margin of calyces not dentate. Sclerites (Figure 3) of polyps straight or curved rods, sculptured with simple conical warts, arranged en chevron, two to four sclerites at base of each tentacle. Coenenchyme spiculation in two layers; layers determined by shape of sclerites seen in each. Exterior layers of coenenchyme with stout capstans (0.1 mm), and spindles (0.2 mm); (latter more common), some less commonly present as having leaves or scales over one surface; few appear as leaf clubs. Numerous sclerites with sculpturing on one side modified into leafy projections (double-discs) as seen in Figure 3B (appear occasionally as sclerites analogous to disc-spindles of

); in many cases, sclerites (0.1-0.15 mm) strongly characteristic of this form; proportion of leafy sclerites to ordinary ones in outer layer of coenenchyme varies only slightly. Ordinary ones are most abundant, while leafy ones, though sometimes rare, are always present. Axial sheath (interior layer of coenenchyme) contains symmetrical spindles (0.16 mm) only; no capstans, clubs or leafy scales. Sclerites of outer layer red; of inner layer nearly colorless.

Among the eight to ten specimens that Bayer examined in 1958, there appeared to be three main areas that showed variation: thickness of branches, development (size) of the calyces (if present), and proportions of different sclerite forms (those with leafy sculpturing as compared to common spindles/capstans) (Bayer unpublished ms 7,

). Specimens at SBMNH do illustrate variation in branch diameter. Terminal branches range in diameter from 2.0-4.5 mm. Branches with smallest diameter have very distinct, prominent calyces, arising conically from their base, but thicker branches have less conspicuously prominent calyces, actually coenenchymal mounds appearing as low bumps; polyps fold into simple openings that appear as pores. One specimen at NMNH, USNM 50187, is of an extreme form; some of the branches are quite slim, bearing very pronounced calyces. It became clear that similar variations were not of taxonomic significance. Other more slender specimens exhibit a wide range of variation in branch diameter.

Most field/diving guides imply that this species is fairly contained within, and to, the region of La Jolla, California. Several of the SBMNH specimens argue against this; it appears that this particular species ranges a bit further south (upper/lower Baja) than had been previously reported. Three lots examined and confirmed correct as to their genus identification (at least) implied either: 1) a range that extends further south and/or 2) the presence of several other species, including
