Contribution to the Attached Cyanoprokaryotes from Submersed Biotopes in Sagarmatha National Park (Eastern Nepal)

摘要

This article is our third floristic-taxonomic study of cyanoprokaryotes (blue-green algae, cyanophytes, cyanobacteria) of the Kingdom of Nepal. In previous studies (Watanabe and Komarek 1988, 1994) 84 taxa were characterized from wetland biotopes and streams from the Kathmandu Valley and Sagarmatha National Park. The present study describes those species living attached to other algae, to other submersed water plants, or to stony substrates in the same region of Nepal. Fifteen species were registered, from which seven are recognized as not yet described taxa (new species).
