Generic name: CYANOARBOR Wand, 1989. Acta phytotax. sinica 27(2): 129-131.
Synonyms:
Diagnosis:
Type species:Cyanoarbor rupestris Wang 1989.
Descriptions:
Komárek & Anagnostidis (1998): Colonies gelatinous, polarized, firm +/- «erect», ramified, macroscopically visible when old; ramification
is pseudodichotomous or irregular. Attached to the substrate. Cells in colonies arranged. irregularly or indistinctly radially. Cells irregular-rounded, more or less spherical, hemispherical, ellipsoidal or angulate- rounded, sometimes grouped 2-4 together in colonies; cells in marginal parts or at the apex of the colony sometimes indistinctly elongated. Around cells narrow, distinct envelopes. Colonial mucilage distinct, firm on the surface, confluent within colony.
Komárek (1992): Unicellular - colonial; colonies gelatinous, polarized, firm, ramified, macroscopically visible when old; ramification is pseudodichotomous or irregular. Attached to the substrate. Cells in colonies arranged irregularly, or indistinctly radially. Cells irregular-rounded, more or less spherical, hemispherical, ellipsoidal or angulate-rounded, sometimes grouped 2-4 together in colonies; cells in marginal parts or at the apex of the colony sometimes indistinctly elongated. Around cells narrow, distinct envelopes. Colonial mucilage distinct, firm on the surface, confluent within colony.
Genotype differences, molecular data:
Reproduction strategies, life cycles, cell division:
Komárek & Anagnostidis (1998): Cells divide evidently in various planes in successive generations and grow more or less into the original size before the next division. Reproduction by fragmentation of thallus in small groups of cells or in solitary cells. Monotypic genus.
Komárek (1992):Cells divide evidently in various planes in successive generations grow more or less into the original size before the next division. Reproduction by fragmentation of thallus in small groups of cells or in solitary cells.

Ecology, ecophysiology, ecological significance:
Komárek (1992):The single (type) species is described and known only from one locality, from moist rocky substrate or mixed with other algae among mosses near the Jingbo Lake, Heilongjiang province, China.
