Monomorphic scleraxonians which form arborescent colonies with a single, short main stem; simple, sparse branching basically in one plane; anastomoses absent; medulla without large, well-defined coelenteric canals, separated from the cortex by a ring of boundary canals; polyps sparse, retractile into tall calyces on all sides of branches but restricted to the distal half of the branches; sclerites predominately short, flat rods arranged transversely in the tentacle rachis, transverse scales in pinnules, small tuberculate rods in the neck and pharynx, and tuberculate sticks and spindles in the points, calyx, cortex and medulla.
