Abstract: 
In the past century the desmid flora of Serbia has been investigated during
several well-defined periods. Investigations have been dedicated mostly to desmid
assemblages of peat bogs, fens, marshes, swamps and lakes, as typical desmid habitats.
Considering that high-mountain peat bogs in Serbia are the southernmost refuge habitats of
many boreal and arctic-alpine desmid taxa, there has been a considerable interest in
obtaining data on the composition of the desmid flora in these habitats. In all, 626 desmid
taxa belonging to 23 genera have been reported from the Republic of Serbia. On the basis of
these records, an annotated checklist has been compiled. In the present paper, the
main taxonomic and ecological characteristics of elongate baculiform desmid taxa of
the families Mesotaeniaceae, Peniaceae, Closteriaceae and Desmidiaceae (Actinotaenium,
Haplotaenium, Pleurotaenium and Tetmemorus), comprising 133 taxa (92 species and
41 varieties), are discussed. Among them 40 taxa have been reported from only one locality
in Serbia, and therefore they are designated here as exceptionally rare.
