Abstract
Study in Diatoms is one of the under explored field in the Assam, even though the land is quite densely occupied with both lentic and lotic water bodies. In this study we have recorded Diatom Taxa found in different locations of three Tea Gardens situated in Charaideo District of Assam. The enumeration consists of species belongs to genera, Amphora, Cymbella, Eunotia, Gomphonema, Neidium, Pinnularia and Stauroneis. Three tea gardens, Sundarpur, Ghorajan and Mahalakhi, present in Charaideo District were visited during the study and samples were collected from both stagnant and running water. All these taxa were studied morphometrically and analysed by microscope OLYMPUS CX21i and camera Magcam-DC5.
