Abstract
During systematic investigations on the algal diversity of eastern Himalaya, the authors recorded a rare desmid genus Bourrellyodesmus Compère for the first time from the Indian subcontinent. After detailed comparative study of the existing species of the genus a new species Bourrellyodesmus indicus has been proposed. A taxonomic note on the existing species of the genus has also been given.
