Original Description
Central capsule ellipsoidal, colourless, with a thin, simple-edged membrane. Proportion of its major axis to the minor 1: 3. Nucleus spherical, its diameter equal to one-third of the minor axis, in its centre a large, dark, spherical nucleolus. Protoplasm clear, containing numerous small vacuoles, separated by regular distances, and on the inside of the capsule-membrane, numerous (forty to fifty) small oil-globules. Calymma (or jelly-veil) ellipsoidal, with a thin sarcode-stratum on the outside of the capsule; its diameter twice as large as that of the central capsule.
Major axis of the capsule 160µm, minor 120µm; diameter of the nucleus 40µm; major axis of the calymma 320µm, minor 240µm.
