Staurastrum Meyen
Cells are always solitary, radially symmetrical and divided in
2 semicells. In end view cells are tri-pluriradiate, rarely biradiate.
Cell wall porous and smooth or ornamented with spines, granules,
teeth or verrucae. Cells often surrounded by spherical, mucilaginous
envelope, especially in planktic species. (Croasdale, H., Flint,
