Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
R.K. Saxena et al. 2005Dimerous thin laminar thalli, composed of 3-4 layers of
cells, giving a foliaceous, irregular appearance of superimposed plants.
Primigenous filaments are characterized by oblique palisade cells. Cells
are 11-17 /-lm (M= 14, SD= 2.6) in length and 26-52 /-lm (M= 38, SD =
9.6) in height. Postigenous filaments are composed of more than one cell.
Epithallus is not preserved. Conceptacles are hemispherical, raised above
the thallus surface. Cells in the conceptacle roof are 12-32 ).lm (M= 22,
SD= 8.05) in length and 8-12 /-lm (M= 16, SD= 5.02) in diameter.
Conceptacles are 105-I35/-lm in height and 3IO-352/-lm in diameter.
