Abstract:

Ten species of the placoderm desmid, Cosmarium Corda ex Ralfs (phylum Volvophycota Shameel) were collected from various freshwater habitats in Azad Kashmir as well as provinces of Punjab and Khyber Pakhtoonkhwa of Pakistan during April 2004 and December 2006. They were taxonomically investigated and described. They appeared in winter, occurred predominantly in spring and summer, and disappeared in the autumn. Out of these, C. ctenoideum, C. formulosum Hoff in Nordstedt and C. garrolense Roy et Bisset are being reported for the first time from Pakistan.
