Autothecae sessile, without the ventral and dorsal denticle.
metasicula without zigzag lines. Pore in the wall of the
metasicula.
N a m e d e r i v a t i o n:
A genus displaying a certain combination of characters of
Dendroidea and Graptoloidea. The specific name indicates
the instability of different characters.
This graptolite is one of the most common representatives
of the Dendroidea, met with in the Ordovician erratic
boulders of Poland.
