| Abstract: | The desmid flora of laguna Thale Noi, a large freshwater lake in the south-eastern part of Thailand, appeared to be characterized by a high portion of non-cosmopolitan taxa. Next to a series of pantropical species, quite a lot of Indo-Malaysian/North Australian flora elements were encountered. A number of species are taxonomically discussed. As new to science are described: Euastrum siamense sp. nov., Cosmarium javanicum var. williamsonii var. nov. and Cosmarium siamense sp. nov. |
