There is, however,as yet no definite proof of this. Planogametes are known to occur in a number of the species; they arein all cases similar to the vegetative cells (= zoogonidia), but smaller andare produced up to 64 in the mother-cell. They are generally naked, but insome species they may be clothed with a cell-wall (Chi. media Klebs ; fig. 92 0and H). In most cases the gametes are isogamous, but in some speciesheterogametes (anisogametes) occur, and in Chi. monadina Stein the conjuga-tion of the gametes is a case of true oogamy, the contents of the megagamete.

The zygote often exhibits distinctspecific characters, being adorned with short spines, warts, etc., or variouslysculptured. This genus {.Chlamydomonas] holds a unique position among the Green Algae, andindeed among the whole of the Green Plants. It may lie regarded as the phylogenetic Chlamydomonade
