A few of the roots which have just branched off from the organ of fixation have a rather strong wall, drawn with a double line in the figure. The internal part of the organ of fixation in this section shows the proximal parts of some large roots (in the upper and in the lower parts).

Moreover, in the organ of fixation there is a series of cuticular formations which undoubtedly represent a sieve plate. In the section there is a series of small cuticular bars arranged in a crescentic row. Inside and outside this row there are a few more of these cuticular formations, so that the sieve plate is not as distinct as in Amallocystis fagei. More details of this sieve plate will be noted Please note that these images are extracted from scanned page images that may have been digitally enhanced for readability - coloration and appearance of these illustrations may not perfectly resemble the original Institute of Oceanographic Sciences (Great Britain); National Institute of Oceanography of Great Britain; Great Britain.
