Distribution and ecology of Cosmarium striolatum (Nägeli) Archer – rare species in the flora of Poland

This paper presents information on the occurrence of Cosmarium striolatum (Desmidiaceae), a species that is very rare in Central and Eastern Europe, including the Polish flora. Based on an morphological analysis of data from relevant publications, recent studies, and AlgaeBase, it has been determined that all previously used names for the species, as well as its classification within the genus Actinotaenium, are basionyms and synonyms of the taxon Cosmarium striolatum. The taxon was studied using material collected from the Sulęczyno peat bog in the Bytów Lakeland (Northern Poland). Phycological analysis was performed on samples collected in June and July 1987 from sites located in water reservoirs, being the remains of the remains of a former lake.. These small, very shallow depressions are concentrated in the northwestern part of the transitional mire, an area dominated by moss communities.
