The single pyrenoid is medium large, spherical or broadly ellipsoidal, surrounded by several starch grains placed in the thick part of chloroplast. Nucleus is placed in the anterior part of cell. Eyespot is dot-like, anterior to equatorial position.Asexual reproduction by zoospores formation. The morphology of zoospores is similar to that of the vegetative cells.
