Abstract
In this article, I summarize the development of the phycology in Uruguay since the beginning of the !9th Century. Uruguayan phycological research has been dominated by ecological, eco-physiological and taxonomical studies of freshwater phytoplankton, influenced by the development of limnology, with few studies completed on marine macroalgae. Other areas such as biotechnology, evolution and the biology of algae and cyanobacteria are still largely unexplored. I pay homage to María del Carmen Pérez (1959-2022), who was the most important Uruguayan phytoplankton taxonomist ever, and a kind, enthusiastic and hard-working person with a distinctive passion for the phytoplankton taxonomy.
