Notes
Microglena butcheri, rare alga, is described for the first time with the help of the transmission electron microscopy. The characteristics of its cytology are those of Raphidophyceae or of Chrysophyceae. Furthermore this organism shows a striated flagellar root system which nearly looks like a rhizoplast. But its conical shape and its internal electron-dense material are proofs of a very differentiated organisation which justifies the new denomination of << pseudocaryophore >>.
