Chara hispida (L.) Hartm. has been found in the Isikli Lake (Western Anatolia). The specimens are described; distribution and ecology of C. hispida are discussed. The bio-indication shows that the Isikli Lake is mainly an oligotrophic state with a trend to a mesotrophic state, and fresh low-alkaline water with low to middle organic pollution. A check-list of charophytes was compiled. There are sixteen species of charophytes known from Turkey, including 13 species of Chara and 3 species of Nitella.
