Description

Corallum cylindrical, branching; corallites diverging fanwise from axis and more or less evenly curved and without sudden increase in diameter, to open perpendicularly to surface of branch; calices conical, some with radial striping; walls thin in axial parts of branch but sharply and strongly thickened in peripheral parts of branch where corallites are perpendicular to surface; where diagenesis is slight, peripheral stereozone of corallite is seen to consist of contiguous septal laminae each of upward and adaxially directed septal spines ?(rhabdacanths) whose axial edges may be free; mural pores well developed, on faces and, in some species, at angles; tabulae flat, complete, may be thickened in peripheral zone.
