 The action potential of Chara corallina (ecorticated internode) often shows an "overshoot". Actually, the action current flows inwardly. This cannot be attributed to the enhanced influx of Na+ as postulated in nerve or muscle cells, since external solution contains only a low concentration of ions compared to the inside of Chara. It may be reasonable to suppose that the overshoot of the action potential and the inward flow of the action current are closely correlated to an enhanced Cl-efflux duing excitation.

 The distribution of ions across the membrane of Chara differs from that predicted by diffusion potential theory, or Donnan equilibrium. Ions may be partly transported as such across the membrane according to the electrochemical potential gradients of these ions.

 However, it is also necessary to suppose that some ions form complexes with polar macro-molecules at the membrane surface, and that these are transported according to the electrochemical potential gradients of their own. The electrical characteristics and the mechanism of excitation of Chara are discussed on this basis.
