Wittrockiella
Wittrockiella is a genus of green algae in the family Pithophoraceae. This genus was first described by Nordal Wille in 1909. The genus name is for Veit Brecher Wittrock, a Swedish botanist (1839–1914).
Wittrockiella consists of thalli that are heterotrichous, i.e. with two forms of filaments: a branched, uniseriate network of prostrate filaments which give rise to a mass of upright, erect filaments. Cells of the prostrate filaments are irregular while the cells of the upright filaments are nearly cylindrical; apical cells of upright filaments are more densely pigmented. Filaments range from 10 to 750 μm in diameter.
