Abstract

C. nana sp. nov. (Chlorophyceae) from the northern Adriatic Sea (about 8 km off Venice [Italy]) is described, using both light microscopy and EM. Its prominent feature is the very reduced size (1.5-3 .mu.). Moreover it has an either thick or thin cell wall, a parietal, cup-shaped chloroplast without pyrenoid. The cells are spherical and propagate by division into 2, sometimes 4, individuals.
