Abstract

Algae are pre dominantly aquatic and are mainly found in fresh or marine water. The rivers from Dang District are selected for Taxonomy of Algae. The present study is a part of a survey being conducted to study the algal flora of Dang which is situated at an altitude of 1200 meters south Gujarat. Lots of varieties of Algal species are found in nature. Some of them are very useful in various fields. A variety of Algal species were collected and identified along with their family. A total of 78 Species belonging to 27 genera and 10 orders of Green Algae have been so far recorded from the locality under present investigation.
