• This study describing the morphology of the green algae Geminella protogenita (Kützing) West, which is a rare species found in the territories of Southern Brazil. Although this taxon is widely distributed worldwide, it is known to rarely occur in the regions where it has been registered previously, which is because little attention is given to its taxonomic characteristics based on the morphology. Photomicrographs and cell morphometric data were obtained to conduct the taxonomic characterization. Here, we also provide data on its global distribution and the type of environments to better contribute in the understanding of the biology of this species.
