Online published on 19 October, 2021. Abstract Four taxa of Charales were collected from brackish water of Shekha Lake, situated 11 km on the eastern direction in the suburb of Aligarh, Uttar Pradesh, India. All the collected taxa were studied morphotaxonomically and were assigned their position under the order Charales of Charophytes. The four identified taxa were Chara vulgaris var. vulgaris f. crassicaulis RDW.; C. vulgaris var. vulgaris f. gobiana (Vilh.) RDW.; C. globularis var. leptosperma f. leptosperma RDW.; C. globularis var. virgata f. viragata RDW. Some physico-chemical properties of the brackish water collected from Shekha lake were also evaluated such as dissolved oxygen, conductivity, pH and temperature. The occurrence of different four taxa in the lake were studied morphotaxonomically with reference to the physico-chemical characters.
