Abstract
A unicellular green alga recently isolated from a Yorkshire (UK) tidal rockpool is shown to be a species of Chlorcoccum, very similar to the previously characterized species C. submarinum. Although the original description of C. submarinum is incomplete and does not meet current taxonomic specifications, we nevertheless consider our isolate conspecific with it. Our isolate can be differentiated from all other currently recognized species of Chlorococcum. A full description of C. submarinum is given, with comments on the use of standard techniques in taxonomic assessments.
