Abstract
SUMMARY: Dichotomosiphon tuberosus occurs abundantly in the outflows, pools, and streams of at least 5 hard, freshwater springs of north central Florida. This tubular alga produces extensive bright green mats which harbor epiphytes, unicellular algae, ciliates, and amphipods. Within the spring, most tubes remain in the vegetative condition. After 12–15 days under certain laboratory conditions, the tubes produce highly characteristic, sex organs and akinetes.
