- Diagnosis
- Thallus grossly cylindrical,
undivided, massive. Medulla about 700 ~tm in
diameter. MeduUar tubes numerous (around fifty),
continuous, with rare dichotomy and slight
pinchings and swellings; their diameter ranges
from 40-50 ~rn. Dichotomous lateral tubes diverge
intiaUy at 45-60 ° from the mother tube, but are
then curved but remain distally oblique to the
surface. They are about 30 Ixm thick and form a
cortical zone that reaches 200 lam final division of
thin, irregular tubes (diameter 15 ~tm) that form an
irregular epiderm.
