Abstract

A new species of Chrysophyceae, Ruttnera pringsheimii, occurring in the coastal waters of India, is described in detail. The alga forms large colonies with cells embedded in amorphous mucilage. Vegetative cells globose or ellipsoid with two chromatophores and a nucleus and a few unidentified glistening globules. Reproduction by vegetative division and swarmer formation. The latter are globose, have the same structure as the vegetative cells and in addition possess two equal flagella. The swarmers settle down on the setae of some diatoms and develop into colonies. The alga, at times, discolours the water yellow when in bloom.
