Catalog entries: Pavlova ennorea
Original description: Sedentary cells forming palmelloid colonies, kneecap-shaped, 6-9 µm diam., often flattened if touching each other. Chloroplast single, parietal, yellow-green, without stigma, with two large lobes and a protruding pyrenoid. Nucleus excentrically positioned. Golgi body single. Deposits of lipid, paramylon and polyphosphate. Motile cells elongate, 6-9 x 3-4 µm. Two unequal flagella, 13 µm and 5 µm, and a short slender haptonema inserted at some distance from the anterior end of the cell body. System of flagellar roots with several roots near the nucleus and eight parallel microtubules running away from the nucleus. Pit with lateral inflations entering the interior of the cell near the flagellar insertion.
