ABSTRACT
The subaerial algae, exclusive of the diatoms, from eight sandstone cliff localities in eastern Kentucky were investigated. A total of 34 taxa representing the Chlorophycophyta, Chrysophycophyta, Cyanochloronta, and Pyrrhophycophyta were recorded. Each of these localities, which exhibited a wide range of cliff aspect and amount of available moisture, supported a distinct algal flora.
