Original Description
All five arms equal, with equal angles between them. Each arm in the basal half simple, in the distal half forked; both branches of it equal, with obtuse ends. (This regular species resembles Dicranastrum furcatum, Pl. 47, fig. 2, but with five rays instead of four; also the form of the arms is more slender and the edges smooth.)
Size: Radius of each arm 0.25, breadth 0.05.
