Description Cells 20–30 μm long and 16–30 μm width, dorso-ventrally flattened (5–10 μm deep) and oval in shape. Epicone slightly conical and generally smaller than hypocone. Hypocone excavated and bilobed. Cingulum premedian and displaced by twice its width. Sulcus extending onto the epicone. Nucleus oval to elliptical to elongated reniform, and centrally located in the hypocone. Several peripheral chloroplasts, yellow-green to green in colour,and reniform in shape. Apical groove extending dorsally over 1/3 of the epicone (Haywood et al., 2004).  [details]

Harmful effect Found to produce the spiroimine gymnodimine in culture. It may accumulate in shellfish (Miles et al. 2000) [details]
