Navicula sp. 2 ( Figure 112 View Figures 107–112 )

Description: Valve elliptic with broadly rounded apices, 9– 12 µm long, 4–6 µm wide. Raphe weakly undulating, proximal raphe endings small and round, terminal endings hooked into same direction and not reaching valve mantle. Axial area elliptic, central area not distinguished from the axial area. Striae radiate, 20–22 in 10 µm, middle striae are shorter.

Ecology and distribution: Marine benthic species. Rare in Potter Cove.
