Polypes terminal on the upper branches, vase- or pear-shaped, with a single row of eighteen or twenty, long, slender tentacles ; reproductive capsules on separate snort branches near the lower part of the stem, or clustered on...
Seite 127 - II, fig. 9). Stem creeping, plain ; pedicles long, nearly smooth, with two or three slight spiral twists at the base and two or three spherical rings at the top, one of which is within . the cup : cells rather long, with parallel sides, wrinkled or lineated longitudinally ; marginal denticles 10, of a squared or castellated form, a little indented at the top.
