Abstract
Eight species of the coenocytic green algae belonging to the genera Cladophora, Pithophora, Rhizoclonium and Sphaeroplea were collected from various freshwater habitats in Kasur, Lahore, Sheikhupura and Sialkot districts of the Punjab, Attock (NWFP) and Neelum Valley of Azad Kashmir during January 2004 - April 2005. They were taxonomically determined and found to belong to the orders Cladophorales and Sphaeropleales. They have been described for the first time from these areas.
