Abstract
We studied the distribution of aquatic macrophytes with respect to phy sicochemical characteristics of water in rivers of Galicia (northwest Iberian Peninsula). Of the 27 species found at 43 sampling sites, 17 s howed a statistically significant correlation with at least one of the 17 physicochemical variables considered. Of these, we consider 14 spe cies to be useful indicators of particular aspects of water quality.
