Request PDFDescription: Plants attached by a polystromatic basal crust. Erect filaments present or absent, fully or partly covered by descending, corticating rhizoids. The polysiphonous secondary segments are divided by longitudinal walls that are of the periclinal type and secondary transverse cell walls are often frequent. Unilocular and plurilocular zoidangia are formed on unicellular or multicellular branched or unbranched thin fertile filaments, which arise from the basal crust or from the erect main axes and their branches.

Contributors
Some of the descriptions included in AlgaeBase were originally from the unpublished Encyclopedia of Algal Genera,
organised in the 1990s by Dr Bruce Parker on behalf of the Phycological Society of America (PSA)
and intended to be published in CD format.
These AlgaeBase descriptions are now being continually updated, and each current contributor is identified above.
The PSA and AlgaeBase warmly acknowledge the generosity of all past and present contributors and particularly the work of Dr Parker.
Descriptions of chrysophyte genera were subsequently published in J. Kristiansen & H.R. Preisig (eds.). 2001. Encyclopedia of Chrysophyte Genera. Bibliotheca Phycologica 110: 1-260.
