Guide to Pinnularia rexlowei
- Valves linear, slightly inflated in the middle
- Apices capitate-cuneate
- Axial area 1/4–1/3 of valve width
- Longitudinal line crosses striae half-way
- Short spines at valve face–mantle junction
Valves are linear, slightly inflated in the middle, with capitate-cuneate apices. Axial area is linear, 1/4–1/3 the valve width. A longitudinal line transects the striae approximately half-way between the axial area and the margin. Short conical spines, straight or slightly bent in the direction of valve apices are located at the valve face–mantle junction.
