Batrachospermum arcuatum Kylin (Batrachospermales, Rhodophyta), a Freshwater Red Alga Newly Recorded in Taiwan

A freshwater red alga, Batrachospermum arcuatum Kylin, is recorded for the first time to the freshwater algal flora of Taiwan. It was found attaching on submerged stones in a clean river in Yuanshan Village, Yilan County. In addition to describe the morphological and reproductive structures of B. ar...
