The new species is characterised by coenenchymal mounds which are orange because of the coloured sclerites, anthocodial armature of flattened spindles, distinct oval sclerites and long warty spindles in the polyparium surface, and the occurrence of plump spindles with tapered, pointed ends in the lower part of the colony.
