Abstract
Summary data on the flora of Zygnematophyceae in the Northwestern European Russia (Leningrad, Novgorod and Pskov regions) are presented for the first time. In total, 294 species, 36 varieties and 8 forms of 33 genera are listed. The following genera are represented by the greatest number of species: Cosmarium (84 species and 7 varieties), Closterium (42 species, 8 varieties and 1 form), and Staurastrum (41 species and 5 varieties). 22 species and 3 varieties rare for the studied region were found, including 4 species (Сosmarium tessellatum, C. schröderi, Micrasterias americana, and Sphaerozosma leave) rare in the world flora.
