Haematococcus Agardh
	From Greek haima, "blood" + kokkos, "berry"
	Haematococcus is a biflagellate, unicellular green alga with spherical, ellipsoidal, or pear- shaped cells. The cup-shaped chloroplasts bear multiple pyrenoids. The protoplast is connected to the outer cell wall by numerous strands of cytoplasm that extend through the gelatinous surrounding wall material. The morphology and reproduction of this genus are fairly similar to Chlamydomonas.
