Summary
An alga which shows the characteristics of the two families, the Nostochopsidaceæ and the Mastigocladaceæ,viz., both lateral and terminal heterocysts as in the former family and reverse ‘V’-shaped and simple branching as in the latter family is described in detail. Owing to the combination of the characteristics of two distinct families, the alga is referred to a new genus by nameMastigocladopsis and placed in a new family the Mastigocladopsidaceæ.
