Altogether 38 algal taxa belonging to different classes were recorded from Lodoicea maldivica (J.E.Gmel.) Pres. (Double Coconut) and its surrounding area in the Acharya Jagadish Chandra Bose Indian Botanic Garden (AJCBIBG), Howrah. Out of which 4 new taxa were reported for the first time from India belonging to Xanthophyceae (1), Euglenophyceae (1) and Chrysophyceae (2). Brief taxonomic description of each species are given in the paper along with photomicrographs.
