Langangen, A. & Løkken, S. 2000. Forekomsten av kransalger i noen vann i Vågå kommune. Blyttia 57: 154-161.
The occurence of charophytes in some lakes in Vågå, Oppland county.

The investigated lakes are situated on a mountain plateau at approximately 800 m a.s.l. in Vågå municipality in South Norway. The lakes are rich in electrolytes and oligotrophic to mesotrophic concerning vegetation. One lake (locality 11) is a Chara-lake, which is of special interest because of the high altitude of the locality (882 m a.s.l), the highest known in Norway. Five species of charophytes were found, Nitella opaca, N. flexilis, Chara contraria, C. strigosa and C. delicatula. Of special interest are the finds of Chara contraria and C. strigosa. These finds connect southern and northern finds of the species. Of interesting waterplants are the many species of Potamogeton and Myriophyllum sibiricum, worthy of note.
