( Smith 1944, p. 107 ) Taxonomy: Loiseaux 1968 Life History: In France, Myrionema plants with plurilocular organs released zooids which: 1 ) fused to either form a branched filamentous plant resembling the parent plant and bore both plurilocular and unilocular organs, or 2 ) formed a small disc which bore both plurilocular and unilocular organs. Zooids from the unilocular organs either fused and recycled the disc stage, or did not fuse formed a branched uniseriate plant which bore plurilocular organs. Isolates from Germany, started from plurilocular plants recycled directly via plurilocular organs. ( Kornmann and Sahling 1983, p. 47; Loiseaux 1968; Loiseaux 1967 a; Loiseaux 1967 b )
