shape: ellipsoidal to prolate (boat-shaped). symmetry: bilateral. apertures: single prominent, wide longitudinal furrow running almost pole-to-pole. size estimate: 80.6 × 56.8 µm (measured). wall structure: thick exine with a prominent refractive outer optical halo. edge definition: distinct, thick outer contour. surface texture: finely granular to scabrate (partially obscured by stain). pores or furrows: 1 deep furrow (sulcus/colpus); no distinct pores visible. internal contents: dense, granular, completely obscured by the heavy stain. color and staining: dark pink/magenta, heavily stained with basic fuchsin. other notable features: looks deeply folded along the furrow, a common state for unexpanded or collapsed monosulcate grains
