SOMR RARE AND INTERESTING CHLOROCOCCALES FROM JABALPUR, MP

Abstracts

An illustrated account of four members of Chlorococcales is given. Of the four forms three are not only new to Jabalpur but are new records for India.

Very little is known about the Chlorococcales of Madhya Pradesh except Agarker (1953), Dikshit and Agarker (1975), Shrivastav and Agarker (1974), Gupta and Nair (1962), Sharma (1958), Kulkarni (1978), and Prasad (1961). But nothing is known about this group from Jabalpur except for a few casual references (Philipose, 1967). With this end in view, a systematic study of the Chlorococcales of Jabalpur was taken up. During the course of investigations as many as 77 species were collected. They are all new to this region and will be described in subsequent papers. However, three interesting species new to India and one rare one are being described.

Keywords :Chlorococcales from Jabalpur. New chlorococcales.
