Quote – Holmes on ‘Entomology’
” I suppose you are an entomologist ? “
” Not quite so ambitious as that, sir. I should like to put my eyes on the individual entitled to that name.
No man can be truly called an entomologist,
sir; the subject is too vast for any single human intelligence to grasp.”

Thanks Franz.
You are correct, from Wikipedia
"Pediastrum is a genus of algae, in the family Hydrodictyaceae. It is a nonmotile coenobial (fixed number of cells) green alga that inhabits freshwater environments."
