Description

Corallum cerioid, corallites small, of uniform size, five- or six-sided, a single longitudinal series of large pores on each side, pores occupying full width of side, in addition in places at angles of corallites radial protuberances ? (eaveslike squamulae) may occur with pores at their ends, septal spines numerous, small, triangular ?(squamulae), tabulae flat, commonly on one level in neighboring corallites
