(Fig. 6A, B)

Coarse, irregular trilobate thickening on the distal pole. Equatorial diameter ca. 50–65 µm (x 62 µm). Ecological data: plants more characteristic of bogs, forming extensive spongy masses; also occurs in other humid places. Color ranges from green to red in response to pH (Watson, 1968).
