Abstract
Chlamydomonas smithii sp. nov. is described from two strains of Chlamydomonas originally isolated by Dr. Gilbert M. Smith. The mating types are interfertile with those of Chlamydomonas reinhardtii (Culture No. 89 and 90) maintained in the Culture Collection of Algae at Indiana University. This species is distinguished from all others by the body shape and slit chromatophore.
