| Description： |
Gemmae abundant, filiform. Zoosporangia moderately abundant; fusiform; renewed sympodially; frequently furnished with one to several lateral discharge pores or tubes in addition to the terminal orifice. Zoospore discharge achlyoid. Oogonia abundant; lateral, frequently intercalary; spherical, frequently doliform and with apiculate; 55-30 μ in diameter, predominantly 35-45 μ. Oogonia abundant; lateral. Oogonial wall usually unpitted; smooth, occasionally sparely ornamented with papillate projections. Oogonial stalk 2 times the diameter of the oogonium. Antheridial branches usually lacking, frequently with hypogynal branch. Oospheres generally maturing. Oospores eccentric; spherical or ellipsoidal; not filling the oogonium. Oospores 1-8 in number, generally 1-4; 15-32.5 μ in diameter, predominantly 20μ. | |||

In our isolate the oogonium usually has no antheridial branch, frequently with hypogynal cell growing into the oogonium, the fertilization behavior is like that of Achlya hypogyna. | |||
