Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Stelechophyllum with corallite diameter 9 to 18 mm and 13 to 20 major septa that most commonly extend from the columella across the tabularium but seldom extend into the dissepimentarium. Minor septa absent to weakly developed. Columella variable in form and thickness, commonly thick and lenticular, in some corallites replaced by ends of one or more major septa, absent from some corallites. Dissepimentarium consists of 1 to 4 rows of small to large dissepiments. Tabulae spaced 0.5 to 1 mm apart, variable in form. Peripheral tabellae poorly· developed. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.4 . Increase is peripheral.
