Sulcus narrow, extending from one end to the other end of one side, presumably the distal face, of the grain. Exine consisting of a thin, smooth nexine and a fairly thick, reticulate, columellate sexine. Reticulum resting on slender, widely spaced columellae. The muri are microechinate and not, or only weakly, thickened at the insertion points of columellae.
