- Diagnosis
- Spores trilete; outline irregularly circular to
somewhat elliptical; proximal surface having
curvaturae perfectae with curvaturae composed of
ridges of irregular width and locally serrated or
knobbed; trilete rays extend three-fourths distance
to equator; lips generally closed, narrow, translucent,
and raised, and extend as much as 3 above
the surface of spore at proximal pole; distal surface
ornamented with prominent triradiate band centered
on pole; band composed of paired parallel,
raised, continuous ridges essentially uniform in
width; some ridges ornamented with small knobs;
positive elements between arms of triradiate band
angular, irregular in outline, and randomly situated;
some specimens have 3 ridges paralleling
equator and interconnecting terminations of distal
triradiate band; other specimens seem thickened
equatorially. Wall thickness, 1 to 2 diameter,
in polar view, 50 to 62 um (average 55 um).
