“…Such developmental pattern was never reported for other Clytia species, but recalls what Bouillon et al (1991) described for Laodicea indica. The bright green colour of the medusa, furthermore, is clearly suggested by the specific name viridicans, from the Latin viridis: green.…”

“…For some species, the polyp stage is relatively ephemeral. In one case, ephemeral polyps occur only during the dry season suggesting that de‐emphasizing the polyp may be an evolutionary response to an ecological problem (Bouillon et al ., 1991). More usual among leptomedusan and anthomedusan species, however, is a de‐emphasis of the medusa stage.…”

To investigate the evolution of cnidarian life cycles, data from the small subunit of the ribosome are used to derive a phylogenetic hypothesis for Medusozoa. These data indicate that Cnidaria is monophyletic and composed of Anthozoa and Medusozoa. While Cubozoa and Hydrozoa are well supported clades, Scyphozoa appears to be paraphyletic. Stauromedusae is possibly the sister group of either Cubozoa or all other medusozoans. The phylogenetic results suggest that: the polyp probably preceded the medusa in the evolution of Cnidaria; within Hydrozoa, medusa development involving the entocodon is ancestral; within Trachylina, the polyp was lost and subsequently regained in the parasitic narcomedusans; within Siphonophorae, the float originated prior to swimming bells; stauromedusans are not likely to be descended from ancestors that produced medusae by strobilation; and cubozoan polyps are simplified from those of their ancestors, which possessed polyps with gastric septa and four mesogleal muscle bands and peristomial pits.
