Description. Turbinate to subpatellate corallum, subcircular to elliptical in outline; septa subcompact (primary, secondary and tertiary septa) or porous (quaternary and younger septa), thin, have rounded or spiny granules and a few pennulae laterally, arranged in 5–6 complete cycles in 6 systems; up to 24 septa extend to the center of the calice, where trabecular prolongations of their inner ends may meet and fuse with the columella . Younger septa alternate in length. The columella is weakly developed, papillose. Synapticulae are irregularly disposed. Endotheca consists of thin, subtabulate dissepiments. The wall is synapticulothecal. In places an epithecal wall (mono- or multilamellar) is present.
