The charophyte flora from Socotra Island, Indian Ocean, studied for the first time from streams waterbodies that distributed at the northern part of the Island. The recognized charophyte taxa were taxonomically investigated, and four dominant species belonging to family Characeae are identified as Chara braunii, C. globularis, C. hispida and Lamprothamnium papulosum. These taxa are reported as a new record for algal flora of Socotra Island. A brief account of the environment where the charophytes were found is provided, as a first evaluation of the ecological requirements of Indian charophytes. A taxonomically diverse of charophyte assemblage and ecological variables explain abiotic features of biotope as shallow (max 1.3 m), alkaline fresh (pH 7.5–8.4), slightly saline, and moderate eutrophic.

来自印度洋索科特拉岛的风生植物首次从分布在该岛北部的溪流水体中进行了研究。在分类学上对公认的嗜盐菌类群进行了分类学研究，鉴定出属于Characeae科的四个优势种为Chara braunii，C. globularis，C. hispida和Lamprothamnium papulosum。这些分类单元据报道是索科特拉岛藻类植物的新记录。简要介绍了发现草藻的环境，作为对印度草藻的生态需求的首次评估。嗜盐菌组成和生态学变量的分类学上的不同解释了生物群落的非生物特征，如浅层（最大1.3 m），碱性新鲜（pH 7.5-8.4），弱盐水和中度富营养化。
