Nostochopsis Wood ex Bornet et Flahault is an uncommon genus with a tropical/pantropical in distribution. The present paper deals first report of N. lobata Wood ex Bornet et Flahault 1886 from Dooars region of West Bengal along with its detailed morphology and an illustration. Observation on various types of heterocysts in its natural form and their importance in context to the edible value have also been highlighted.Keywords

A rare freshwater unicellular red alga Flintiella sanguinaria F. D. Ott has been reported for the first time from India. It is a monotypic taxon and a rare alga. The alga was found growing as powdery covering on moist burnt soil of a damp paddy field from Rajhat, Chinsurah, West Bengal and collected in the month of January. It has been reported from very few localities of the world. Probably, this is the first report of the genus and species from the Asian subcontinent.Keywords
