G. R. Licari 1978Cells generally spheroidal but commonly flattened on two to three sides due to mutual compression into globular packets of two to eight cells. Some packets form elon- gate cross tetrads. Larger cellular clusters range in length from 18 to 35 μ,m and in width from 13 to 21 μ,m. Clusters associated with numerous similar cell aggregates. Surface of cells finely reticulate. Cell sheath absent. Veg- etative division in two or more planes.
