Description
Corallum solitary, suberect or curved, without rootlets, shaped like toe of slipper, subsemicircular in transverse section. Calice with subsemicircular operculum. Counter septum in middle of flattened side, alar fossulae at angles between flat and curved sides; septum in each loculus neighboring counter septum long like major septum; near periphery counter septum swells into low columella that may engage in notch in operculum and consists of contiguous tufts of fibers radiating from its longitudinal axis; lumen completely or almost completely filled by sclerenchyme that is laminated parallel to floor of calice and that immerses septal segments of trabeculae; if tabellae occur, their upper surfaces are covered with laminated sclerenchyme continuous with that lining calical platform and sides [see HILL & JELL, 1969, p. 544; BIRENHEIDE, 1974a, pI. 1,2].
