high, with no hydrorhizae, possibly detached at base from same colony; lightly fascicled proximally, with a few accessory tubes creeping over main tube bearing hydrothecae. No evident division into internodes, even in monosiphonic parts. Each equivalent of internode short, accommodating pair of opposite, though not contiguous, hydrothecae. Single side branches, given off laterally from below a stem hydrotheca, occur in both specimens; structure similar to that of stem, except for first hydrotheca, which is unpaired. Hydrothecae large, tubular, immersed for about half their length into their corresponding internodes; free parts bent at nearly right angles to internodes, then curving upwards toward their middle; diameter nearly constant for most of length, slightly expanding toward aperture; rim with thickened perisarc; in frontal view, aperture semi-circular on adaxial side and somewhat flattened on abaxial side; a filmy, rounded operculum observed in one hydrotheca, but opercula likely deciduous. Gonothecae large and pyriform, with no distinct aperture; at least three large, globular structures (oocytes or young embryos) present in one of them. Numerous, large foramina (obliterated by thin pellicle of perisarc) below each hydrotheca suggest that gonothecae may occur in pairs in fully fertile specimens. Coenosarc badly preserved, not suitable for tentacle counting or cnidome studies.

In this case, the finding of an operculum closing the aperture of a hydrotheca is truly fortunate.</paragraph>
