Abstract
In Hirmer’s treatise on Paleobotany (1927) Pia defined an equivocal class of lower Thallophytes which he called Schizophyceae; this class included definite blue-green algae like the unicellular form Gloeocapsamorpha, the filamentous genera Rivularia and Oscillatoria. The Schizophyceae also included “families” of uncertain affinities: the Spongiostromata and the Porostromata.
