Venation immersed. Sori circular, c. 1 mm in diameter, terminal or near terminal on abbreviated vein branches, discrete at maturity: sporangium with 10-(14)-22 indurated annulus cells; stalk eglandular: indusium stramineous, peltate, circular, simple or often with a few long central processes, repand to erase, persistent, the maximum radius 0.48-(0.76)-0.97 mm. Spores 64 per sporangium, brown, the perispore folded to form tubercles and inflated or compressed reticulate ridges, echinulate, closely perforated, the pores to 1.5 µm in diameter, the exospore 30-(38.54)-48 x 22-(28.86)-38 µm.
