Specimen notes
Supplementary remarks:
In habit this material is representative of W. [Warnstorfia] fluitans. However, some cellular features here are very suggestive of W. [Warnstorfia] exannulata. I am unable to name this with confidence.
Stems c. 75 mm; sparsely & irregularly branched (not pinnately branched as frequently the case in exannulata); no hyaloderm present. Leaves mostly c. 3.5 x 0.6 mm. Alars strongly inflated and forming a large ± auriculate group which extends nearly to costa. Leaf apex denticulate; lower margins crenulate to weakly toothed by projecting cell ends. Secondary pigmentation lacking. Costa rather stout (c. 60 µm near base), ending well below the leaf apex (rather short for exannulata).
