Upright colonies without distinct main stem. The colonies are irregularly pinnate or bushily branched, segmented, and with a pair of oppositely placed hydrothecse on each internodium. The hydrothecse are slender, almost evenly tubular, with slightly divergent distal part. The free distal portion of the adcauliue wall is about half the length of the hydrotheca, between i1/, times and twice the opening diameter, rarely somewhat shorter, down to about the same length as the opening dia-. 2 00 rt,. 600m. ^.^.looom. ioaorr.

The opening margin has a slight adcauline sinus, in which the large opercular plate is attached. The gonotheea; arise close under the base of the hydrothecse. The males are pear-shaped, with normally eight longitudinal ribs, each terminating in a distal short blunt point; the gonotheca has a central short cylindrical neck. The females are also pear-shaped, with eight long ribs, of which six terminate in as many broad blades closing together over a distal brood-chamber; the two last, diametrically opposite ribs end in forward pointing horn-like outgrowths of varying length.
