shape: spheroidal. symmetry: spherical/radial. apertures: numerous circular pores evenly distributed over the entire surface (pantoporate). wall structure: thick, distinct exine. edge definition: sharp, but with a jagged or wavy optical section due to the thick exine and micro-projections between pores. surface texture: dotted or pitted appearance due to numerous evenly distributed pores; the exine between pores forms slight projections, giving a microechinate or jagged look to the surface. pores or furrows: multiple distinct dark circular spots representing pores, giving a 'golf ball' appearance. internal contents: dense, obscured by heavy stain. color and staining: heavily stained deep pink/magenta, indicating typical pollen exine. other notable features: classic 'golf ball' appearance characteristic of pantoporate pollen
