Abstract

Observations on the thallus of Chaetophora elegans are presented. Both the prostrate and the erect systems are described at optical level, being the present the first accurate electron microscopical study made in the genus on the vegetative ultrastructure. Moreover, the distribution of this species is extended in Argentina.
