Diagnosis
ReferenceDiagnosis
E. W. Berry 1929Seeds crustaceous, flat on the inner and rounded on the outer face; more narrowed at the hilar end and more rounded at the opposite end. The flat face shows a median longitudinal, slightly curved sulcus. The opposite face degree, the flat face, is thrown into longitudinal ridges and valleys, which are irregular because the ridges really consist of low tubercles, and the valleys of shallow pit-like depressions, both highly characteristic in appearance.
