AB  - Pediastrum privum is relatively rare coccal green algal species with circumpolar boreo-alpine distribution on the north hemisphere. It prefers clear nordic lakes and peat bogs. Its remnants can also occur in the paleobotanical findings. This inconspicuous alga can be easily overlooked and differs from other species of genus Pediastrum in its size and shape. In May 2002 I found this alga in a little pond near Staré Město pod Landštejnem close to the Austrian border. The pond catchment which is almost unaffected by human activities extend in a cold and wet climatic area of South Bohemia. Pediastrum privum has not been found in the Czech Republic yet.
