Abstract

Four species of freshwater rhodophytes are reported for the first time in Taiwan. They are Batrachospermum ectocarpum Sirod, B. moniliforme Roth, Thorea ramosissima Bory, and Hildenbrandia rivularis (Liebm.) Breb. The morphology, habitat, and geographical distribution of these species are described. All of these species are found in clear, cool, and well-aerated subalpine streams in the central ridge of Taiwan. However, they inhabit in the streams with quite different water quality. A comparison between their inhabitations is done.
