[2] The genus was circumscribed by Ernst Johann Lemmermann in Hedwigia vol.37 on page 311 in 1898.

The genus name of Schroederia is in honour of Ludwig Julius Bruno Schröder (1867–1928), who was a German teacher, botanist (Algology and Bryology), also Hydrobiologist and Zoologist.

[4] As the cell matures, it develops multiple parietal chloroplasts along its long axis.

[1] Schroederia produces zoospores with two flagella, which are released when the mother cell's wall tears open.

[4] It has an essentially cosmopolitan distribution, being found in tropical and temperate habitats worldwide.
