Abstract
The presence of Triplastrum spinulosum (Kisselev) Gauthier-Lievre (Desmidiaceae) in South Africa is reported for the first time. The characters of T. spinulosum varieties spinulosum, indicum (Iyengar Ramanathan) Gauthier-Lievre and africanum Gauthier-Lievre were found to be exhibited by specimens collected at Ottosdal in the south-western Transvaal. The differences among specimens of the populations studied are ascribed to variation within one variable species and therefore the varieties indicum and africanum are relegated to synonymy.
