Most of the volumes of the series Süßwasserflora von Mitteleuropa are written in German, the volumes 2/1 – 2/4 dealing with the Bacillariophyceae (diatoms) as well. They enable the user to identify all diatom species and provide him with the taxonomic and ecological information. Since the number of the known diatom taxa has increased considerably it is extremely important to distinguish the different species.
