Abstract

The present study enumerates a total of 50 chlorophycean macroalgal taxa belong to 17 genera of 12 families under 6 orders from the shoreline of Andhra Pradesh, of which 13 species are new distributional records to the state flora. Further, the distributional details of each species along with seasonal availability are discussed.
