Information
“Name. Pennatula sulcata, Köll. Loc. Uraga Channel 31 fath, Date. June 1899, Coll. Owston (O/C. 5428)”.

The number of teeth on the calyx is two in many cases. In this respect, this colony resembles Ptilosarcus brevicaulis Nutting, which was considered to be a synonym of Leioptilus fimbriata by Deichmann (1941). The specimen had once dried out.
