SUMMARY A new species of Hymenomonas (H. coronata) has been isolated from the Texas coast, grown in axenic culture, and examined by both light and electron microscopy. Certain cultural and ultrastructural observations are presented. This alga has several haptophycean characteristics, although a definite haptonema has not been observed. Similarities to other members of the genus are evident, such us type and shape of coccoliths and pyrenoid‐chloroplast morphology.
