Paradoxia is a genus of green algae, in the family Coccomyxaceae.[1] It is found in freshwater habitats, and is rare.[2] Paradoxia forms pairs of cells. Individual cells are club-shaped or fusiform, with many long, thin spines or setae. The two cells are joined at the base by spines that twist together.[2]
