Notes:
Only found in a very low number in soil sample BA61, taken from a small cave in the Pointe Basse area. The accompanying flora points to a more brackish environment.Navicula paramutica Bock has been found twice, on the Antarctic Continent (Spaulding et al. 1997) and on the South Orkney Islands (HÃ¥kansson & Jones 1994). No information regarding this variety has been found.
