Abstract

In contrast to higher plants, diversity and distribution of microalgae is not very well understood and floristic data is incomplete for many regions. This study focuses on filling this gap in case of desmids in the region, Moravia (Czech Republic). During the years 2008-2012, desmid flora of nine Moravian (Czech Republic) peat bogs and wetlands were studied. One hundred and nine taxa belonging to 14 genera have been found, 42 of them are new records for Moravia, and five of them are new for the Czech Republic (Closterium cf. costatum var. westii, Cosmarium asphaerosporum var. strigosum, C. exiguum var. pressum, C. incertum, C. transitorium). Species which have been found are briefly discussed with regard to their previous records for Moravia or for the whole Czech Republic. Line drawings of 66 taxa are included. Character and origin of the unique locality Slavkov mire is discussed.
