ENDOCARP. Cream, elliptical to oblong in lateral view, globose in transverse section, length ca 22.5 mm, width ca 13 mm, thickness ca 12.3 mm. Channel surrounding the endocarp on one side in the plane of symmetry. Apex slightly asymmetrical in lateral view; base rounded, slightly asymmetrical. Outer surface of the endocarp smooth with ca 3 main shallow channels containing the vasculature of the endocarp. Endocarp primary vascular bundle embedded within the endocarp wall. Endocarp wall 353– 386 µm thick. Endocarp wall with ca 12–14 rows of periclinally oriented cells, cells 16.3–33.0 µm in width. Inner endocarp surface smooth with long and thin hairs.
