In the present study, 139 samples collected over 4 years from various biotopes (vertical and horizontal moist rock walls, small rock pools, peat bogs, and small streams and waterfalls) were collected and examined for algal diversity and species composition. A very diverse algal flora was recognized in the habitats of the top of Mt. Roraima; 96 Bacillariophyceae, 44 Cyanobacteria including two species new to science, 37 Desmidiales, 5 Zygnematales, 6 Chlorophyta, 1 Klebsormidiales, 1 Rhodophyta, 1 Dinophyta, and 1 Euglenophyta were identified.
