Abstract

During an excursion to Scotland in June 1976, the algal vegetation in 15 saltmarshes was investigated. Eighty-one taxa were reported with certainty, one of which, Anacystis montana (Lightf.) Dr et D. can be added to the list of British marine algae. The algal vegetation of the marshes along the Solway Firth has a composition similar to that found in the Wadden area and is characterized by a richness in Vaucheria communities. In the marshes of Argyllshire and in the Ross and Cromarty/Moray area a combination of the following algal communities predominated, viz. of Rhizoclonium riparium, of Bostrychia scorpioides, of Fucus vesiculosus ecad muscoides and of Rivularia nitida.
