Abstract

Micrasterias echinata sp. nov., from Sierra Leone, is a species believed to be unique among the symmetrical members of the genus in having all the processes paired about the frontal plane of symmetry, none being in the plane itself. Euastrum bombayense Brandham nom. nov. var. gracile var. nov. and Cosmarium dolabriforme sp. nov., from Nigeria, both show marked asymmetry.
