DESCRIPTION
Zonate trilete microspore. Amb rounded subtriangular. Central body subcircular. Laesurae are not visible. Central body verrucate; verrucae are very small and contiguous (about
1-2 µm
in diameter). The exine thickens near the periphery of the central body (about
3-3.5 µm
). The zona is thin, granulate, radially folded, with irregular and more or less transparent margins. It is wider in three areas (about five times wider), which gives to the spore a subtriangular shape. No hilum is visible. Equatorial diameter =
45-70 µm
; zona width =
2-12 µm
.
