ABSTRACT
During the study of systematic account Nostocales of Sakri and Navapur taluka, district Dhule and Nandurbar
respectively, Maharashtra (India) the author collected twenty six taxa belonging to two genera. Anabaena Bory is a
dominant genus followed by Nostoc Vaucher.
Genus Nostoc Vaucher is represented by ten species and one variety while genus Anabaena Bory. represents by
nine species, five varieties and one form from study area.
Out of twenty six taxaone species and two verities of genus Anabaena viz. A. orientalis Dixit var. ellipsospora Rao,
A. oscillariodes Bory ex. Born.et. Flah var. angustus Bharadwaja, A. spinosa Laloraya et. Mitra are first time recorded
from Maharashtra.
Nostoc spongiaeformae Agardh ex. Born. et. Flah var. tenue Rao, Nostoc minutum Desm. ex. Bornet. Flahault,
Anabaena sphaerica Bornet et. Flahault var. attenuate Bharadwaja, Anabaena anomala Fritch, Anabaena vaginicola
Fritsch et Rich form fertilissima Prasad, Anabaena iyengarii Bharadwaja var. tenuis Rao and Anabaena circinalis
Rabenhorst et. Born et. Flah are second record for Maharashtra.
These genus of Nostocales from this region have not been studied earlier. This is the first ever attempt to explore,
enumerate and taxonomically evaluate the algal components of the area. Distribution of the taxa in India has been
discussed. The quantitative availability of species is also noted.
Key words:Nostoc, Anabaena, Systematic account, Sakri, Navapur.

genuses of Nostocales from Sakri and Navapur taluka. Fifty eight taxa belonging to five genera collected from
different places. Out of 26 taxa one species and two verities of genus Anabaena are first time recorded from
Maharashtra.

MATERIALS AND METHOD

During study of algal flora of this region the survey of Nostocales was carried out. The collections were
made at every fortnight from all possible places. The materials were preserved in 4 % formaldehyde.
These genus were identified with the help of available publications and monograph i.e. Anand (1990),
Anand and Hooper (1987), Biswas (1980), Desikachary (1959), Dixit (1936),Kamat (1963), Kant and Gupta
(1998), Laloraya and Mitra (1971), Prasad et. al. (1986), Prasad B.N. (1962), Rao (1936, 1937), Smith (1950),
Shaji and Panikar (1994), Salam and Khan (1978), etc.
Distribution of the taxa in India has been studied with the available literature. The quantitative availability of
species is also noted. For quantitative abundance abbreviations are used as: C- common; RC- rather common;
VC- very common; R- rare; RR- rather rare; VVR- very very rare; VVVR- very very very rare.
