Phylum: Charophyta   Family: Desmidiaceae

Staurastrum crenulatum (Nägeli) Delponte 1877

Found in circumneutral, mesotrophic waters. Coesel & Meesters (2013) note the taxonomic concept of S. crenulatum is rather obscure, due to a lack of clarity of the illustrations by the original authors, and therefore have adopted the West's (1899) concept. Due to this lack of clarity, distribution is unclear.
