Description Ramose cerioid corallum with polygonal corallites. Extracalicular increase producing young small corallites at the top of the branches. Radial elements are compact, free septa, confluent or non confluent, weakly attenuated, straight to slightly curved unequal in length. Distal edge with few regular small teeth, probably corresponding to subvertical carinae. Inner edge often enlarged. Lateral faces with acute granules. No pali. Microstructure unknown. Radial symmetry rather octameral, bilateral symmetry generally not observed. Endotheca not observed, columella absent but a clear central subcircular fossa. Synapticulae possibly present in the wall (?). Wall in zigzag, probably paraseptothecal. [details]
