N2  - Six species of Batrachospermum from Australia and New Zealand have a twisted to coiled carpogonial branch and determinate gonimoblast filaments, and are therefore referable to section Contorta or Hybrida. Batrachospermum australicum K&#220;tz. ex sp. nov. from large rivers in tropical Northern Territory has a tightly 3-coiled carpogonial branch; B. vittatum sp. nov. from tropical Northern Territory has a characteristic longitudinal mid-whorl band of spermatangia; and B. deminutum sp. nov. from a single locality in eastern-central New South Wales has reduced whorls and long carpogonial branches. The other three species are cosmopolitan in distribution: B. virgatodecaisneanum Sirodot is widespread but uncommon in temperate regions of both countries; B. ambiguum Montagne is widespread and common in tropical Australia; and B. globosporum Israelson is restricted in Australia to near Brisbane in subtropical southern Queensland.
