Original Description
Central capsule spherical, dark, with a thick, double-edged membrane. Nucleus central, spherical, half as large as the capsule, transparent. Protoplasm divided into numerous cuneiform radial pieces which are separated by clear intervals, and filled with very fine dark granules (darker in the distal half). The equatorial optical section exhibits around the circular clear nucleus a coronal of twenty-five such wedge-shaped pieces (mother-cells of spores ?). No oil-globules in the central capsule. Jelly-like calymma one and a half times as broad as the enclosed capsule, with numerous small xanthellae.
Diameter of the capsule 150µm, of the nucleus 70µm, of the calymma 240µm.
