The Extant Scleractinian Corals of New Zealand

Family Flabellidae Bourne, 1905 — Genus Gardineria Vaughan, 1907 — Gardineria sp

Family Flabellidae Bourne, 1905

Genus Gardineria Vaughan, 1907

Gardineria sp.

Gardiner (1928) referred three specimens collected from Terra Nova station 96 (Three Kings Island, 70 fathoms) and a single specimen from station 90 (Three Kings Island, 100 fathoms) to this genus. He comments that they differ from G. lillei Gardiner, and Antarctic species, in the more complete insertion of the fourth cycle of septa. He also notes that the edges of the septa are much twisted, and that the septa bear low, blunt spines laterally.
