ReferenceDiagnosis
W. J. Sando 1983Petalaxis with corallite diameter 5 to 7 mm and 15 to 17 major septa that ordinarily extend to the columella but seldom extend into the dissepimen-tarium. Minor septa poorly developed. Columella a sim-ple axial plate connected to cardinal and counter septa. Dissepimentarium composed of a single row of large in-flated dissepiments. Tabulae ordinarily complete, horizontal, commonly turned up at columella, regularly spaced 0.3 to 0.5 mm apart. Ratio of tabularium width to corallite diameter about 0.5 to 0.6. Mode of increase unknown.
