- Diagnosis
- Small vegetative remains consisting of nodes and internodes. Internodes range from 300/* to 600/* in length and from 150/* to 250/* in width. Diameter of central tube about one-third total diameter of internode. Central tube is enclosed by 7 or 8 fairly large vertical cortical tubes. Outside part of internode consists of about 21 secondary cortical tubes that did not calcify on exterior and are represented by vertical furrows. Secondary cortical tubes extend toward center of internode from each node, meeting in about center of internode along small transverse ridges. Sharp bladelike partitions between primary cortical tubes extend beyond ends of internodes. Nodes small, with seven lateral openings indicating attachment of branchlets.
