Description Massive plocoid corallum. Finely granulose wide compact trabecular peritheca. Intercalicular increase. Circular deep calices. Radial elements are compact free straight costosepta arranged in hexameral symmetry. Probable auriculae at inner edge. Styliform columella present. Wall of unknown nature. [details]

Description Massive plocoid corallum. Finely granulose wide compact trabecular peritheca. Intercalicular increase. Circular deep calices. Radial elements are compact free straight costosepta arranged in hexameral symmetry. Probable auriculae at inner edge. Styliform columella present. Wall of unknown nature. [details]Remark The lectotype of P. gibbosa is strongly silicified and difficult to interpret. The columella can be observed in rare corallites. Psammohelia is probably a junior synonym of Heliocoenia or Stylohelia. The main character used by Fromentel and Koby to differenciate this genus was the granulose costae in peritheca that appear only near the corallites. It is interpreted here in the normal range of variability of Heliocoenia. [details]
