Lonarlake is a natural lake, situated in Buldhana district of Maharashtra. The water of lake is alkaline and saline with a high pH.In present study algal samples from selected sites of Lonarlake were collected at monthly intervals for the period of one year i.e. October 2015 to September 2016. Acid washed collection bottles were used for the collection for algal samples. In present study 27 species under 14 genera have been identified and recorded. Algal genera such as Arthropira, Aphanothece,Spirulina, Oscillatoria,Phormidiumand Plectonema were dominant.Cyanophycean algal flora of Lonarlake is rich and it is found in diverse form.The lake water was observed green in colour due to abundance of Cyanophycean algae in lake water.
