Taxa Notes:
 
Naded 316012: Cell strongly curved with pointed poles. Cell wall is smooth and colorless. Cell length ranges from 34.4-38.4µm and width ranges from 5.5-6.1µm. Cell is 5.6-6.9 times longer than broad.
Naded 327014: Semicells are subsemicircular with undulated margins. Median constriction is deep with narrow sinus. Cell length is 15.5µm and width is 17.9µm.
Naded 379002: Cell is quadrangular in outline. Basal lobes are slightly bilobed and quadrangular in outline. Sinus is narrow and closed. Cell length ranges from 10.8-11.4µm and width ranges from 8.8-9.0µm.
Naded 401000: Clavate cells in a prostate colony.
Naded 510003: Cylindrical cells arranged latterly in a colony. Each cell has a curved spike on cell apices. Cell length is about 5.1µm and width is about 1.0µm.
Naded 863016: Cylindrical filaments in a thin sheath. Filament ends not tapper and cells are not constricted. Filament width is about 1.2µm.
Naded 852004: Filaments are incased in a sheath. Filaments are attached to substrate and have tapered ends. Filament width is about 1.4µm.
