Prymnesium is a genus of haptophytes, including the species Prymnesium parvum.[2]
The genus is a unicellular motile alga. It is ellipsoidal in shape one flagellum is straight and there are two longer ones which enable movement.[3]
The name Latinizes the Greek prymnēsion ‘cable (for mooring)’,[4][5] from prymna ‘stern’, from prymnos ‘hindmost’.[6][self-published source]
Prymnesium was likely first recognized and drawn (although not named as such) on July 1, 1920,[7] and then (seemingly independently) officially named shortly afterwards on July 6, 1920.[8]
