Description:
Palmodictyon (palm-o-dick-tea-on) is a branching green alga in which coccoid cells are located within a mucus-like branching structure. The mucoid matrix develops a pink colour with age. The cells divide within the matrix and leave vacated cell walls behind, as this detailed micrograph shows. Differential interference contrast.
