The spores of this genus borne laterally from the neck of "sporiferous saccule" (no pedicel) and are sessile in nature.

The wall layer is single in the juvenile spores with a sporiferous saccule hypha attached. A differentiated laminated layer can be seen. The laminated layer can be ornamented or smooth. The third wall layer is either invisible or difficult to be seen.
