The distribution and ecological significance of blue-green algae on limestone have presented problems from the time of the earliest phycological investigations to the present. Tilden (1897), working on calcareous algae in Yellowstone National Park, and Chodat (1898), studying the chemical mechanisms by which blue-green algae penetrate into their limestone substrates, were two of these earlier workers. Little research on calcareous Cyanophyta has been done since the turn of the century, except for general collecting and, of this, few observations have been limited to the calciphilic forms.
