Under this name Klunzinger has described some fragments of an Antipatharian from the Red Sea. The lower portion appears as if consisting of two stems fused together. This portion is 2 to 3 cm, broad below, and 1 cm. above, and bears the bases of several branches which have been broken off. Other portions bear parts of branches. The scierenchyma appears smooth, but under a lens is seen to be covered with very numerous fine wart-like spines (cf. Klunz., op. cit., p1. iv. fig. 5) Klunzinger regards his specimen as identical with that obtained from the same area by Ehrenberg, and as probably agreeing with Esper's Antipathes compressa, or rather with that specimen shown in his pl. xiii. fig. 1; his description and the other figures probably refer to a decorticated Gorgonid. Klunzinger's description is not sufficient for specific purposes, and is based on a very fragmentary specimen.
