pollen unit: monad, dispersal unit and peculiarities: monad, size (pollen unit): medium-sized (26-50 µm), size of hydrated pollen (LM): -, shortest polar axis in equatorial view (LM): -, longest polar axis in equatorial view (LM): -, shortest diameter in equatorial or polar view (LM): -, longest diameter in equatorial or polar view (LM): -, pollen class: -, polarity: isopolar, P/E-ratio: oblate, shape: -, outline in polar view: circular, dominant orientation (LM): -, P/E-ratio (dry pollen): -, shape (dry pollen): irregular, outline in polar view (dry pollen): irregular, infoldings (dry pollen): interapertural area sunken, aperture number: >6, aperture type: -, aperture condition: porate, aperture peculiarities: annulus, aperture membrane ornamented, pantoaperturate
Ornamentation and Structure
LM ornamentation LM: psilate, nexine: -, sexine: -, SEM ornamentation SEM: microechinate, suprasculpture SEM: -, TEM tectum: eutectate, infratectum: granular, foot layer: continuous, endexine: absent, intine: monolayered, wall peculiarities: -, supratectal element: -
Miscellaneous
