Prasinoderma is a genus of green algae in the phylum Prasinodermophyta.[1] Both species in the genus are unicellular, but P. coloniale forms loose sticky colonies.[2]
Classification
[edit]The genus contains two species:
- Prasinoderma coloniale Hasegawa & Chihara 1996[3]
- Prasinoderma singularis Jouenne 2011[2]

Well, that’s interesting to know that Psilotum nudum are known as whisk ferns. Psilotum nudum is the commoner species of the two. While the P. flaccidum is a rare species and is found in the tropical islands. Both the species are usually epiphytic in habit and grow upon tree ferns. These species may also be terrestrial and grow in humus or in the crevices of the rocks.
