Chlorokybus atmophyticus has a sarcinoid growth habit and produces scale-covered zoospores. Flagella are laterally inserted and attached internally to a multilayered structure characteristic of the Charophyceae. There are two kinds of pyrenoid in each cell, a feature previously observed in only one scaly green flagellate. C. atmophyticus demonstrates that the sarcinoid growth habit arose independently at least twice in the green algae and cannot be used to define taxonomic groups unless combined with other criteria. It is further concluded that C. atmophyticus should be classified in a separate family Chlorokybaceae and a separate order Chlorokybales. THE CHAROPHYCEAE iS of central interest among green algae because it includes forms related to the ancestry of land plants. An understanding of the evolution of habit and mode of reproduction within the class is essential to the understanding of adaptations leading to early archegoniates and is also of more strictly phycological concern in the comparison of Charophyceae with other green algal groups.
