It is distinguished by having only scales in its body wall and tentacles (Group C), a dichotomously branching main stem with a 1/4R branching sequence, and uniquely shaped tentacular sclerites. Based on an extrapolation of the height (and thus age) of the colony and the number of concentric axial lamellae, it was determined that one lamella is secreted approximately every 43 days, not on an annual basis as in tropical species that have been examined.10aChrysogorgiidae1 aCairns, S., D.  uhttps://deepseaoctocoral.myspecies.info/node/2001489nas a2200133   4500008004100000245013200041210006900173300001400242490000800256520100000264653002001264100001901284856005201303       2001                        eng d00aStudies on western Atlantic Octocorallia Coelenterata : Anthozoa. Part 1: The genus Chrysogorgia Duchassaing & Michelotti, 18640 aStudies on western Atlantic Octocorallia Coelenterata Anthozoa P  a746–7870 v1143 aThe nine species of Chrysogorgia known from the western Atlantic are described and illustrated. One species is described as new (C. herdendorfi), three species are synonymized (C. orientalis, C. affinis, C. elisabethae), and two species are elevated in rank from variety to species (C. multiflora and C. thyrsiformis). Lectotypes are chosen for six of the species and a neotype for one, C. desbonni, the type species of the genus. A type species is also designated for the genus Dasygorgia, a junior synonym of Chrysogorgia. An identification key to the nine species is given, as well as a list of the 59 currently recognized species in the genus, along with their type locality, depth of capture, and branching sequence. The study was based on newly reported specimens from over 150 deep-water stations as well as re-examination of all historical material; additional records of C. squamata and C. spiculosa represent the first reports of these species since their original description in 1883.10aChrysogorgiidae1 aCairns, S., D.  uhttps://deepseaoctocoral.myspecies.info/node/21
