Extract

Polyzoary calcareous, sessile, and encrusting, forming systems of small circular discs, the upper surfaces of which are marked with radiating ridges, upon which the cells are carried. Each disc is attached by its entire lower surface, slightly convex above, with a central non-poriferous space, round which a number of radiating poriferous ridges occupy an exterior slightly elevated zone. Cells forming a double series on each ridge, immersed, with rounded mouths, which are not elevated in any part of their circumference above the general surface.
