McFarlan (1931)
- Zooarium ramose, 6-12 mm in diameter. Surface typically with low, rounded monticules composed of larger apertures and more numerous mesopores. Zooecia 7 in 2 mm, surrounded by a variable number of angular or subcircular mesopores. Tabulations of zooecia variable.
Cumings (1907):
- “Corallum variable in form, usually of subcylindrical branches, which have a diameter of from 2 to 6 lines, sometimes forming flattened and expanded subpalmate fronds, sometimes inosculating. Corallites thin-walled, polygonal, unequal in size, about eight of the average ones occupying the space of 1 line. Surface exhibiting rounded or somewhat stellate groups of larger corallites, of which two or three occupy the space half a line, and which sometimes have very minute intermediate tubuli between them. These groups of larger corallites generally comprise from five to seven individuals, and they are placed about 1 line apart; they are very slightly or not at all elevated above the general surface so that there are no conspicuous tubercles.
- “The characters of this species are so well marked as to render its recognition very easy, even in small fragments.” – Nicholson, loc. cit.
- Internally this species exhibits very beautifully the peculiar structure of the genus Callopora. Toward the surface, the walls are much thickened and ring-like and are separated from each other by a set of small rounded mesopores. In longitudinal sections, the zooecia and mesopores are seen to be crossed by a well-developed series of straight diaphragms, which are very close together in the mesopores.
