Miospores traingular to subtriangular, 55–70 × 50–70 μ in size; trilete mark distinct, rays reaching spore equator; exine proximally laevigate to infrapunctate, distal ornament ranging from broad-based conate to verrucose processess, often bearing fine apical point (Pl. 1, Fig. 19; Text-fig. 8), size of elements 3–5 μ long and 5–8 μ broad, basal confluence of processess well marked forming thick ridges and ± complete reticulum (Pl. 1, Fig. 17); pseudozona imperfect (Pl. 1, Fig. 18), 30–50 elements along spore equator. The tetrads (Pl. 1. Fig. 21; Text-fig. 8A) have relatively smaller elements.
