- Diagnosis
- Pollen grains in almost spherical tetrahedral tetrads and also in oblate-spherical monads; individual grains anisopolar, sides convex to flattened, proximal side more convex than distal poral side; mono-porate, pore large relative to size of monad, pore membrane not preserved, annulate, annulus 1 um wide,formed by slightly thickened and raised nexine, sexine absent around pores forming a ragged edge exposing a 2-3 um rim of nexine and absent in a larger area onproximal side, pore 3-5.5 um wide, circular, nexinepsilate around pores; exine two-layered, sexine twice thickness of nexine, easily detached during fossilisation, finely reticulate, lumina c. 1 um wide, muri c. 0.5 um wide and about 2um high, reticulation reduced to a finer reticulation or scrobiculate on proximal side; clavate-baculate, columellae simple.
