W. J. Sando 1983Petalaxis with corallites 5 to 6 mm in diameter and 17 to 18 major septa that ordinarily extend to the columella but seldom extend into the dissepimen-tarium. Minor septa ordinarily well developed. Col-umella a simple thickened axial rod or plate formed by extension of the counter septum. Dissepimentarium composed of a single row of large inflated dissepiments. Tabulae ordinarily complete, essentially horizontal, and irregularly spaced 3 in 1 mm. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.5. Mode of increase unknown.
