Centric
Centric is one of nine morphology categories that we use to provide a visual aid in identification. These categories are artificial (not strictly evolutionary).
- Valves with radial symmetry (symmetric about a point)
- Cells lack a raphe system and lack significant motility
- Cells may possess fultoportulae (strutted processes) and rimoportulae (labiate processes)
- Sexual reproduction is oogamous
