Original description as Hystrichosphaeridium floripes: [Deflandre and Cookson, 1955, p. 276]:
Description:
Shell globular, with about 16-18 tubular processes not communicating with the interior. Processes generally consisting of from 2 to several tubes joined along the greater part of their length, the individual tubes widening and sometimes separating from one another distally. Proximally the peripheral tubes widen considerably as they fuse with the membrane of the shell, forming on its surface a clearly defined flower-like design. Sometimes the processes may consist of a single tube with a rounded base. Membrane of shell thin and finely reticulate.
