Description: L 84.3 um, Br 40.1um, Isth 12.0um, L:Br 2.1. A variety with the basal angles more sharply rounded than the species type. Low, rounded lateral lobes with the margins of the polar lobe sub-parallel to the flattened apex. The median notch was relatively narrow and the face of some semicells showed a mucilage pore, although they were quite difficult to discern in some individuals. (dingley 2001)
