Prasiola calophylla is a species of algae.[1]

It is one of the few macroalgae species that can survive extreme temperatures.[2]: 228 

The species was first described by Captain Carmichael in Lismore, Scotland.[3]

Occurrence[edit]

It typically occurs on damp places inland[4]: 227  like moist soil, rocks, and trees in cold temperatures with humid climates.[5]: 416 

It has been reported in the United Kingdom.[6]

It has been reported in continental cities like Innsbruck in Austria.[3]

In southern parts of Victoria Land, it was described on glactial walls.[7]: 194–195  It is rare in Ross island streams.[8]: 88  It is common in streams located in McMurdo Sound.[9]: 180
