Abstract
Abstract The snow alga, Chloromonas pichinchae, was found for the first time since its initial discovery in 1892. Gametes, syngamy, and planozygotes are reported for the first time in this species. Non-motile vegetative cells and zygotes are different from those reported in the literature. The zygotes resemble Scotiella tatrae, suggesting that other species of Scotiella may be resting spores in the life histories of Volvocalean algae. Environmental and physical factors pertaining to developmental stages in this snow alga are discussed.
