Summary
The use of manginuloid hyphae (a category of epiphyllous microfungal structures) in the interpretation of Tertiary vegetation palaeohabitats is discussed briefly. A new type (6) is added to the known series of types of present-day manginuloid hyphae. This type apparently is restricted to very wet, near-equatorial mid-montane rainforest and extends the basis for uniformitarian deductions about tertiary vegetational palaeohabitat.
