A genus of freshwater algae in the family Zygophyceae, Chlorophyceae, which is green and hairy and grows in rice paddies, ponds, etc.; similar to Spirogyra but distinguished by its star-shaped chloroplasts. Like Spirogyra, two individuals, male and female, are connected by a mating tube and reproduce sexually by transferring cell contents to join. About 25 species are known in Japan. Species are classified according to whether the zygote is produced inside the mating tube or female gametophore, whether the zygote is yellowish brown, indigo blue, or colorless, whether the zygote cell wall has a pore pattern, and how large the pores are.
