Anthozoa (Dodecacorallia) with definite base but without basilar muscles. Filaments without ciliated tracts. Distal end of the filaments of the imperfect mesenteries drawn out into two lobes giving this part of the filament the appearance of a bisected funnel. Gonads below the filaments, not enclosed in the mesogloea but stalked, recalling the arrangement of the gonads in the Alcyonaria. Cnidom: spirocysts, atrichs.
Carlgren, O. 1949. A survey of the Ptychodactiaria, Corallimorpharia and Actiniaria. Kungl. Svenska Vetenskapsakademiens Handlingar, series 4, volume 1, number 1, pages 10-11.
An inventory of PTYCHODACTIARIA of the world, as of 1949, according to Oscar Carlgren.
Keyboarding of Carlgren's 1949 catalog was done as part of a project to create an electronic database of the sea anemones of the world, funded by NSF Grant DEB9521819, awarded to Daphne G. Fautin. This grant is in the program Partnerships to Enhance Expertise in Taxonomy (PEET). As parts of the database are compiled, they will be made available on the WWW; watch this site for additions! Susanne Hauswaldt, Katherine Pearson, and April Wakefield-Pagels contributed to the keyboarding effort. HTML encoding and formatting were done by Chad Campbell.
