Position of cedo- gonium:—CEdogonium is one of the true thread-like algae, green in color, and the threads are divided into distinct cells. It, along with many relatives, was once placed in the old genus conferva. These are all now placed in the group Confervoidece, that is, the conferva-like alga. .;., 246. Relatives of cedogonium.—Many other genera Portion of chanophora Fig. 104. Tuft of chagto- phora, natural are related to cedogonium. Some consist of simple showing branching. threads, and others of branched threads. An example of the branched forms is found in chaetophora, represented in figures 104, 105. This plant grows in quiet pools or in slow-running water. It is attached to sticks, rocks, or to larger aquatic plants. Many threads spring from the same point of attachment and radiate in all directions. This, together with the branching of the threads, makes a small, compact, greenish, rounded mass, which is.
