- Diagnosis
- No macro-morphological details available. Adaxial cuticle: medium thick, glabrous, size of non-modifi ed epidermal cells 21–43 μm (31 μm), anticlines straight, sometimes curved to slightly wavy, 1–3 μm thick. Abaxial cuticle: medium thick, smooth, stomatal complexes cyclocytic to incomplete amphicyclocytic, 5–7 subsidiary cells, partly tangentially elongated, more intensively staining, stomatal complexes partly densely spaced, so that adjacent stomata sometimes share their subsidiary cells, stomata roundish or broadly oval, 19–27 μm (24 μm) long, 17–26 μm (21 μm) wide, epidermal walls and outer cuticular ledges of the guard cells thickened, stomatal aperture of variable shape and size, roundish to oval, 10–16 μm (14 μm) long, no polar thickenings developed, concentric folds present upon the guard cells; size of non-modifi ed epidermal cells 15–33 μm (24 μm), anticlines straight to slightly curved or wavy, surface smooth; a single polygonal trichome base in an intercostal area preserved, 23 μm in diameter, poral rim and radial walls of the trichome base cells more strongly cutinized; trichomes not preserved.
