Phylum: Charophyta Family: Desmidiaceae
Cosmarium scutiforme Van Geest & Coesel 2019
First described by Van Geest & Coesel (2019, p. 126, figs. 7,18,24), as one of many crenate species, which can be confusingly similar. It would seem to occur predominantly in atmophytic habitats such as ephemeral pools and with moss on wet rocks.
