<paragraph pageId="31" pageNumber="32">The holotype is a 16.5 cm long colony with holdfast (Fig. 75c). At the base the stem is 10 mm wide, the end branches are only 1 mm wide. On the lower half of the colony the polyps are situated on one side of the colony; the upper part has polyps all around the branches. The calyces are dome-shaped, and most polyps are expanded. Points with slightly bent spindles up to 0.20 mm long, distal end with more developed tubercles (Fig. 82a). Collaret with bent spindles up to 0.30 mm long, middle part with more developed tubercles (Fig. 82b). Tentacles with platelets, the larger ones crescent-shaped with irregular projections (Fig. 82c). These platelets are up to 0.15 mm long. Pharynx with straight spiny rods, up to 0.05 mm long (Fig. 82d). Coenenchyme with predominantly capstans (Fig. 82f), double disks (Fig. 82g), and unilaterally foliate spheroids (Fig. 83b), 0.05-0.15 mm long, and small clubs (Fig. 82h), up to 0.10 mm long. Spindles are also present, 0.10-0.25 mm long, with simple or complex tubercles (Fig. 83c). The calyces with additional clubs, up to 0.15 mm long (Fig. 83a). The axis has smooth and sparsely tuberculate rods (Fig. 82e).</paragraph>
