To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
These have been described. Those of the axis are remarkably slender, rod- like, comparatively smooth, but with scattered thorny points; and a few strikingly dissimilar oval or irregular spindles with coarse verrucse. These two types are also found in the ccenenchyma of the branches; but here the larger spicules are slender, comparatively regular spindles with ordinary verrucae. The ccenenchyma contains many of the irregular oval spindles found sparingly in the axis. There are also slender spind...les in the calyces. Color. The leaves are bright scarlet, the polyps white, the stem and rachis rather dull pink and the flattened basal part of stem very light pinkish or livid. General distribution. Type locality. Ternate, also reported from the Maldives and the Indian Ocean. This species is quite variable in color. Some of the specimens are white with pink calyces, and others are creamy white with brownish or salmon colored calyces. One young specimen from Station 319 is much like the colored figure of the original described by GERMANOS.
