Abstract

Nitellopsis obtusa (Charophyta) is reported for the Bering Island (Commander Islands) for the first time. It is the most north-eastern record in Russia and Eurasia. The species is found in atypical habitat, in a shallow lakelet of coastal tundra. Possibility of distribution of the species by migratory water birds is discussed.

Keywords: charophytes, Nitellopsis obtusa, Bering Island
