Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
P.K. Misra et al. 2006Growth fonn encrusting to crustose
and lobate, 4.5 mm long and 3.0 mm in width. Thallus
organisation monomerOliS. Core filaments non-coaxial.
Cells ofcore filaments 18-20 /Jm in length and 8- J2
/Jm in width. The peripheral region ofencrusting portion
restricted to dorsal part ofthe thallus with cells 15-20
/Jm in length and 8-10 /Jm in width. Cell fusions present.
Tetrasporangial conceptacles arranged in sori. Individual
sporangial compartments rectangular, elliptical or ovoid
in longitudinal section and circular in transverse section;
60-80 Ilm in height and 35-50 Ilm in width. Sori usually
arise from a layer of elongated cells. Filaments
(paraphyses) are interspersed between the sporangial
compartments.
