Pediastrum wintonense sp. nov. (Chlorophyceae, Neochloridales, Hydrodictyaceae) is described from turbid Lake Mokoan, north-east Victoria, and recorded also from Lake Elphinstone in the north-west of the Fitzroy River catchment in Queensland. The occurrence of lP. wintonense as a minor component of the plankton within the two lakes is documented, and it is described from a shoreline accumulation of up to 900000 colonies/ml in Lake Mokoan.
