Pitophora in the Botanic Garden in Zagreb

D. Miličić ; Hrvatska

Abstract

Pithophora, the genus of Chlorophyceae, was sometimes observed in the glass-house basins of the Botanic Garden in Zagreb, but till now this observations was not recorded in the literature. The author of this note had a good chance to observe again this interesting alga, but this time in an algal culture from the mud of the open pond with Nelumbo-culture. This alga was probably of the same species as the one observed before in glass houses, and it was afterwards transferred into the opet pond.
This alga has shown a great variability in morphology by changing of the natural conditions. It was impossible to identify this species for the moment with the species known up to the present, because of lack of special -literature. It is considered, however, that it belongs to the section Heterosporae. Among forms of this section, the found alga has the position between species P. microspora and P. Zelleri, but may be it is P. varia. In this note are also the date about the found form.
