Basal treatment on these forms is variable, with markedly convex, concave and notched bases, and straight to contracting lateral basal margins. These are small, delicate points, usually highly symmetrical, and often exhibiting a characteristic winged appearance. Flaking pattern is variable. Serrated blade margins occur. Cross-sections are almost entirely biconvex.
