All these three taxa have monoaperturate condition with ring-like annulus along with uneven disrupted projections. They also exhibit variation in density of excrescence. Dense rugulate excrescence is noted in R. retusa (L) Blume and sparse rugulae in E. dalzellii Lindl. But intermediate type of density of rugulate excrescence is observed in O. brunoniana Wight.enMonoporateExcrescenceAnnulusPalynological observations of some corticolous orchids from Maharashtra under SEMArticle
