ABSTRACT
A total of 1296 species and varieties of algae so far recorded from the inland waters of Iraq are listed. Most of the algae belong to three classes; Bacillariophyceae (593 taxa), Cyanophyceae (324 taxa) and Chlorophyceae (3 12 taxa). Each taxon is annotated with details of geographical distribution within Iraq and its main habitats. As far as we are aware this is the first comprehensive check list of algae for the region.
