Summary
Two new taxa of theChlorococcales are described.Siderocelis minor sp. nov. is similar toS. nana Fott & Heynig in releasing 4 autospores from breaks in the cell wall at either end of the autospore mother cell but differs in the arrangement of granules found in the cell wall.Scenedesmus granulatus f.salina f. nov. differs fromSc. granulatus West & West in size and fromSc. costato-granulatus andSc. granulatus var.verruco-costatus (Roll) Dedus in the distribution and form of cell wall granules.
