<paragraph pageId="3" pageNumber="4">The holotype RMNH Coel. 42072 consists of two branches, both 4 cm long. (Figure 2c). The calyces are placed spirally all around the slender branches, which are about 1 mm wide. The dome-shaped calyces are about 1 mm wide and high.</paragraph>
<paragraph pageId="3" pageNumber="4">The anthocodiae are armed with a crown and points consisting of a transverse crown with curved, rather smooth spindles up to 0.40 mm long (Figure 3a) and eight points formed by spindles 0.35 mm long (Figure 3b) placed in a chevron-like pattern beneath the tentacles. These spindles have simple tubercles and a distal spiny end. The tentacles contain flattened, dragon wing sclerites up to 0.2 mm long (Figure 3c).</paragraph>

<paragraph pageId="3" pageNumber="4">The sclerites of the outer surface of coenenchyme and calyces are rosettes consisting of a cup-shaped thorny projection arising from a warty base. Several of these are up to 0.10 mm long and have a widely flared calyx part of about 0.10 mm in greatest diameter with slightly serrated rim with a few blunt processes, joined by a smooth, slender stem to a warty base narrower than the calyx (Figure 3d); others do not flare out (Figure 4c). The rosettes become asymmetrical toward the calycular apertures (Figure 3e), with the calyx margin becoming elongated and forming a blade-like process that projects from the surface and surrounds the calycular aperture. These sclerites are up to 0.20 mm long.</paragraph>
