reported this dull reddish specimen to be 25.4 cm long and 22.8 cm wide, with the branches ~ 3.8 mm wide. Approximately five stems arise from the holdfast, the thicker being around 12.5 mm in diameter. The colony branches up to 12 times. The branches are irregularly dichotomous, emerging at angles of 45-120°, mostly ascending in parallel and bifurcating at distances of 12.5 to 50.8 mm. The end branchlets are mostly crooked, scarcely tapering and obtuse or clavate at the tips with a diameter of 3-4.5 mm. Branchlets tips are ~ 12.7 to 25.4 mm long (Fig.

The coenenchymal sclerites vary remarkably in diversity of colour, size and form as Verrill has pointed out. Verrill found white, yellowish, light red, deep red and amethystine intermingled sclerites while we observed transparent, red and pink sclerites in the MNHN slide. The MNHN sclerites show a diversity of sclerites that is typical of the genus: mostly irregular warty spindles with acute, blunt or bifurcated ends, and several irregular forms (Figs

). These sclerites measure 0.10-0.19 mm in length (reaching 0.22 mm according to Bayer (1858)) and 0.04-0.095 mm in width. Spindles commonly lack the naked median space as they are densely covered with warts. Few wart-clubs are found in the sample, 0.10-0.18 mm long and 0.04-0.06 mm wide at the expanded head. Radiates are densely covered by warts measuring 0.09-0.11 mm in length and 0.055-0.07 mm in width (Fig.
