Willes reference of the genus to the Chlamydomonadeas(Wille, 03; 09) is also erroneous since the dominant vegetative phase is non-motile, and theexperience of the present author is that a motile phase may be absent for very numerousgenerations. Tetrasporese 187 Sub-family TETRASPORE/E. The Alga? comprised in this group are dis-tinguished from all other members of the Palmellacese by the possession of pseudocilia. These are motionless, functionless cilia, each mature cell being-provided with two or more. In Tetraspora the cells are largely grouped infours at the periphery of a more or less extensive (macroscopic) mucilaginous mt. H Fig. 113. A—G, Schizochlamys flelatinosa A. Br.
