The life history in culture of Akkesiphycus lubricus Yamada et Tanaka, an alga which has been placed in the Coilodesmaceae or the Punctariaceae, Dictyosiphonales, was studied. In culture the species alternates between a microscopic filamentous gametophyte and a macroscopic polystichous sporophyte, a pattern common to the Dictyosiphonales and Laminariales. However, it has a unique anisogamous dioecious gametophyte. Fusions between macro-gametes and micro-gametes were not observed. Macrogametes or zygotes germinated, mostly developing into sporophytes that formed unilocular sporangia and the rest developed into reduced gametophytic filaments again. The gametophyte matures in 5.degree. C short-day conditions, corresponding to winter in Hokkaido. The sporophyte develops normally and matures only in low-temperature conditions irrespective of daylength. In regard to its systematic position, Akkesiphycus lubricus is considered to have a closer relationship with the Laminariales than with the Dictyosiphonales in the following characters: lack of pyrenoids; early stages of parenchyma formation in the sporophyte; direct development of sporophytes from gametes or zygotes without forming a basal system; zoospore becomes almost empty after germination by the migration of cell contents into a germ tube; formation of macro-gametangia by direct conversions of mother cells of fertile branches; and micro-gametangia formed in clusters showing close resemblance to the antheridia of Pseudochorda nagaii (Tokida) Inagaka.
