Sixteen new species, varieties and formae in thegenera Coleodesmium/ Anabaena/ Golenkiniopsis/ Scenedesmus/ Pediastrum/Zygogonium/ Spirogyra/ Cylindrocystis/ Gonatozygon/ Cosmarium/Staurodesmus and Staurastrum are proposed. The austral islandsendemism seems limited to the 16 new taxa. The floristic compositionis very similar to that of arctic islands.
