shape: reniform (bean-shaped), plano-convex to concavo-convex in lateral profile. symmetry: bilateral (monosymmetric). apertures: not explicitly visible, but the shape strongly implies a monolete laesura located on the concave margin. wall structure: thick outer wall (exine/perine) formed by the coarse ornamentation. edge definition: distinct but heavily scalloped or undulating due to the optical section of the large surface verrucae. surface texture: coarsely verrucate, appearing as large, closely packed, bubble-like warts or areolae across the surface. internal contents: obscured by the dense surface ornamentation. color and staining: golden-brown to yellowish; lacks the intense pink/magenta basic fuchsin stain uptake seen in typical angiosperm/gymnosperm pollen. other notable features: the prominent 'cellular' appearance is actually surface texturing (warts/verrucae) rather than internal structural septations
