See Breedy and Guzman 2002: 791.</p> <p>Diagnosis. Adapted from Bayer (1951: 94): Colony flabellate branched in one or several perpendicular planes. Branches regularly anastomosed to form a network of variable sized mesh. Polyps retractile within low calyces or flush with the surface of the coenenchyme. Coenenchymal sclerites basically of 4 kinds: long spindles with acute ends and several whorls of warts; blunt spindles, long or short with several whorls of warts; and girdled capstans with different levels of complexity. Anthocodial sclerites are flattened rods with smooth, scalloped, serrated or lobed margins.</p> <p>Distribution. From Bayer (1951): Eastern Pacific, from southern California to Chile and the Galápagos Islands; Atlantic coast from Trinidad to Brazil.</p></div> 	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/A47A1725FF8CFFDD563DA22EFBF1F92C	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Colonies large, up to 200 mm in height and 580 mm in width, and stiff (Plate 13A). Colour of the colonies varies from deep pink, reddish­purple, dark yellow, to brown, sometimes intermingled with orange. Fans open reticulate, with a single fan or subdivided into 2–5 lateral fans. Stem very short or absent; holdfast wide and strong. Branches mostly compressed, around 2–5 mm thick, and nearly round in cross­section at the tips. No distinct midribs present. Network of long, oblong, or rectangular meshes around 10–35 mm by 1–4 mm in size (2 meshes/cm²). End­branchlets up to 30 mm long. Calyces low, oval, distributed on both sides of the branches, not very crowded, leaving the branches with a smooth texture. Polyps orange, reaching about 1.5 mm in diameter when fully expanded, possessing collaret­like masses of pale yellow sclerites arranged vertically, and projecting slightly into the base of each tentacle. Coenenchymal sclerites pink, grey, and yellowish: a few long spindles (up to 0.12 by 0.04 mm) with warty, acute ends, and four whorls of tubercles (Fig. 12A), blunt spindles (up to 0.1 by 0.05 mm) with four whorls of tubercles (Fig. 12B) some with one elongated end; capstans very abundant (up to 0.10 by 0.05 mm) with different arrangements of tubercles, and most of them with elongated warty ends (Fig. 12C); six­radiates (up to 0.06 by 0.04 mm) (Fig. 12D), and immature sclerites (up to 0.05 by 0.04 mm) with low tubercles (Fig. 12E). Anthocodial sclerites yellow rods (up to 0.09 by 0.02 mm) with scalloped or short lobed edges, weakly serrated at both ends (Fig. 12F).</p> <p>Remarks. Although the morphology of this species is very constant, the dominance of different sclerite­forms and also the colour of both colonies and sclerites vary among different specimens. This variation was pointed out by Hickson (1928) in colonies collected from the same place at the same time. In different sites in Costa Rica, we have observed both yellow and reddish­purple varieties together and some colonies have both yellow and reddish­purple sections. UCR 771 presents a dominance of spindles with sharp ends. In UCR 498, we found six­radiates (around 0.05 by 0.03 mm) with warty blunt ends (Fig. 12D) which were not reported for the holotype.</p> <p>Habitat. Found between 15–30 m deep on rocky bottoms or vertical walls. Very few colonies of this species are found scattered in environments dominated by other species like P. irene. Specimens from Pearl Islands and Zorritos (Perú) were collected in shallower waters, between 12 and 16 m deep (Verrill 1868c). Recent field observation showed that they also live at a depth of 8 m (Cortés, pers. comm. 2000).</p> <p>Distribution in Costa Rica. Murciélago Archipelago; Cabo Blanco; Gulf of Nicoya; Sámara Bay; Caño Island; Ballena Marine National Park; and Punta Matapalo, Osa Peninsula.</p> <p>Published records. From Verrill (1868c): Acapulco, México; San Salvador, El Salvador; Corinto, Punta Arenas, Nicaragua; Pearl Islands, Panamá; Zorritos, Perú. Type locality, New Zealand, is probably erroneous.</p> </div>	http://treatment.plazi.org/id/A47A1725FFB8FFEB563DA3BCFD19F9F4	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
