Description: VIC: L csp 24.7–26.5um, L ssp 20.9–21.7um, Br csp 22.9–28.3um, Br ssp 20.6–25.4um, Isth 4.5–5.1um, Th 11.3um. Viyakornvilas (1974) found this plant in Lakes Hume and Mulwala and says that it has also been seen in Lake Sorell in Tasmania (Dr PA Tyler pers. comm.). She identifies it under the present name and says that the closest plant that it looks nearly like is 'Euastrum cuspidatum var. goyazense Forster'. She goes on to say that her plants differ from Forster's plants in having 'three pyrenoids per semicell instead of one and they have less spines on the ploar lobes.' Plants found at Site 2 agree with her plants but the polar lobes have a single long spine and a sub apical granule. More cells will need to be examined in order to place this taxon with certainty.
