Bulbochaete Agardh
	From Greek bolbos, "bulb" + chaite, "long hair"         This branched, filamentous green alga is named for its distinctive, colorless hair cells with bulbous bases. The filaments have more than six cells, are unilaterally branched in a single plane, and lack mucilage. The cells are broader at their upper end and each have a parietal, net-like chloroplast with several pyrenoids. Bulbochaete is similar in habitat, cell structure, cell division, and reproduction to the genus Oedogonium, but can be distinguished by its branching pattern and hair cells.
Note the distinctive branching pattern and colorless hair cells that are characteristic of Bulbochaete.
