- Triporate pollen, oblate; amb semi- angular with convex interporia; pores atriate. Pores (exopores) circular to meridionally elongate, about 1-2 micrometers (Itm) in diameter, endopores about 6-10 jtm in diameter. Exine about 1 sm thick at equator; endexine not extending to apertures but ending at endopores to form the atria, ektexine thickening slightly toward exopores; surface with evenly spaced fine granules. Exine of even thickness at both poles, lacking any structural modification. Size range 19-27 um, modal diameter 24 um.
