- Diagnosis
- Pollen small, almost circular in
equatorial outline, monocolpate. Colpus extending for
the full length of the grains. Exine semitectate-reticulate
and columellate. Reticulum coarse, homobrochate with
isodiametric, polygonal to rounded lumina. Muri smooth
with flattened to slightly rounded profiles, supported by
long scattered columellae. Colpus margin distinct, delimited
by a continuous border formed by the marginal muri of the reticulum. Reticulum larger than the main body of the pollen
grain to which it is only loosely attached.
