- Diagnosis
- Capsular valves strongly asymmetric, elliptical to orbicular
in outline. Base rounded, strongly asymmetric, margin entire,
apex emarginate to lobed with a mucro in the middle between two
apical lobes. Each valve with a longitudinal middle carpellary suture
and a septum along the proximal region of the suture. Septum extending
almost to the distal point of valve between two apical lobes.
Lateral veins irregularly zigzag, tapering gradually towards the margin.
Intervening veins between lateral veins anastomose, areoles commonly
3–6 sided, relatively consistent in size and form.
