Original description: Cells 3-4 (5) µm × 5-8 µm, ovate, base obtuse, slightly metabolic, not compressed. Longer flagellum 1½-2 times the body length, the shorter ¼-⅓ the length of the longer. Haptothrix (attaching organ) contractile, very fine, rarely more than body length when fully extended. Chromatophores two, large, lateral, yellow-green; stigma red, position variable, lateral to sub-apical. Bright refractive bodies of unknown nature, usually 2-3, present at the posterior end.

Morphology:

This species has strongly metabolic motile cells with many filipodia and with a green-yellow parietal plastid. The three appendages are present: the posterior flagellum is naked whereas the anterior flagellum possesses hairs and knob scales , with the haptonema inserted between them. Knob scales were not observed on the cell body. A red eyespot is located near the flagellar insertion on the inner face of the plastid. Like P. gyrans, the plastid has parallel thylakoid lamellae. A bulging pyrenoid is also present. [Bendif et al. 2011]
