''Volvox'' species form spherical colony (biology), colonies of up to 50,000 cells, and for this reason they are sometimes called globe algae. They live in a variety of freshwater habitats, and were first reported by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek in 1700. ''Volvox'' diverged from unicellular ancestors approximately .
