''Volvox'' is a genus of freshwater algae found in ponds and ditches, even in shallow puddles.<ref name="Powers" /> According to [[Charles Joseph Chamberlain]],<ref>{{cite book |last=Chamberlain |first=Charles Joseph |author-link=Charles Joseph Chamberlain |date=2007 |orig-year=1932 |title=Methods in Plant Histology |chapter=Chlorophyceae |publisher=Read Books |isbn=978-1-4086-2795-2 |pages=162–180 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=O85ZudgVASEC&pg=PA165}}</ref>
<blockquote>"The most favorable place to look for it is in the deeper ponds, [[lagoon]]s, and ditches which receive an abundance of rain water. It has been said that where you find ''[[Lemna]]'', you are likely to find ''Volvox''; and it is true that such water is favorable, but the shading is unfavorable. Look where you find ''[[Sphagnum]]'', ''[[Vaucheria]]'', ''[[Alisma]]'', ''[[Equisetum fluviatile]]'', ''[[Utricularia]]'', ''[[Typha]]'', and ''[[Chara (alga)|Chara]]''. Dr. Nieuwland reports that ''[[Pandorina]]'', ''[[Eudorina]]'' and ''[[Gonium]]'' are commonly found as constituents of the green scum on wallows in fields where pigs are kept. The flagellate, ''[[Euglena]]'', is often associated with these forms."</blockquote>
