Abstract
An abstract of a study by Hall et al identifying species in the polyphyletic genus Cylindrocystis using Spores of Zygnematophyceae is presented. Phylogenetic analysis of two plastid-encoded genes confirmed that these strains were phylogenetically distinct and represent new species. One of these new species produces a spore very similar to Transeauina glyptosperma and T. smithii. This suggests that those fossils previously assigned to Transeauina or its relatives may in fact represent species only distantly related to the Transeauina lineage.
