Observations

Observations: Bart Van de Vijver
Length: 10-19µm
Width: 2-3µm
Striae: 17-20 striae in 10µm

Description:

Valves linear with obtusely rounded, sometimes weakly subcapitate apices (L 10 19µm, W 2-3µm, 17-20 striae in 10µm). Axial area rather broad, linear to lanceolate, wider in the middle, around the central pores. Central area elliptical, no fascia present. Raphe filiform, sometimes slightly curved. Central endings weakly deflected with small central pores. Terminal fissures hooked. Transapical striae parallel to weakly radiate, parallel or even convergent towards the poles.

Morphology: Naviculoid

Notes:

Common in very wet (>90%), acid soils. Probably indifferent to variable specific conductance values in soils since this taxon was found from 51 to 1173µS/cm. Prefers very wet mosses (mean F-value 3,2±1,4). Very common in acid pools, especially in the Vallée des Branloires. Again, no preference for specific conductance (57-2090µS/cm).Kerguelen (Van de Vijver et al. 1998a, 2001).
