Corallum dendroid, but slender corallites contiguous and partly prismatic in early stage and in patches later, corallites with peripheral stereozone in which septal spinules are developed, tabulae very thin, irregularly infundibuliform or concave, axial tubes of neighboring corallites may be continuous through pore-canals or connecting rounded tubules, offsets arise through openings of the pore-canals. [HILL & JELL, 1970a, p. 176].
