#division_Chlorophyta__Chlorophyta large division of chiefly freshwater eukaryotic algae that possess chlorophyll a and b, store food as starch, and cellulose cell walls; classes Chlorophyceae, Ulvophyceae, and Charophyceae; obviously ancestral to land plants
supertype: #division.biological_group (biology) a group of organisms forming a subdivision of a larger category
member of: #kingdom_Protoctista
member: #class_Chlorophyceae__Chlorophyceae algae distinguished chiefly by having flagella and a clear green color, their chlorophyll being masked little if at all by other pigments
member: #order_Ulvales__Ulvales an order of protoctista
member: #family_Ulvaceae__Ulvaceae__sea-lettuce_family__sealettucefamily thin flat or tubular green algae

member: #order_Volvocales__Volvocales chiefly freshwater green algae; solitary or colonial
member: #family_Volvocaceae__Volvocaceae unicellular or colonial biflagellate free-swimming flagellates
member: #genus_Volvox__Volvox type genus of the Volvocaceae; minute pale green flagellates occurring in tiny spherical colonies; minute flagella rotate the colony about an axis

member: #family_Zygnemataceae__Zygnemataceae pond scums: common freshwater algae forming green slimy masses
member: #genus_Zygnema__Zygnema type genus of the family Zygnemataceae
member: #pond_scum free-floating freshwater green algae
member: #genus_Spirogyra a genus of protoctista
member: #spirogyra freshwater algae consisting of minute filaments containing spiral chlorophyll bands
member: #order_Chlorococcales__Chlorococcales unicellular green algae that reproduce by spores
member: #genus_Chlorococcum__Chlorococcum type genus of Chlorococcales; unicellular green algae occurring singly or in a layer on soil or damp rock
member: #genus_Chlorella nonmotile unicellular green algae potentially important as source of high-grade protein and B-complex vitamins
member: #chlorella any alga of the genus Chlorella
member: #Oedogoniales__order_oedogoniales simple or branched filamentous freshwater green algae
member: #family_Oedogoniaceae__Oedogoniaceae filamentous green algae
member: #genus_Oedogonium__Oedogonium type genus of Oedogoniaceae; freshwater green algae having long unbranched filaments; usually free-floating when mature
member: #green_algae__greenalgae__chlorophyte algae that are clear green in color; often growing on wet ricks or damp wood or the surface of stagnant water
member: #class_Ulvophyceae__Ulvophyceae alternative name for the class Chlorophyceae in some classifications
member: #class_Charophyceae__Charophyceae in some classifications: contains only the order Charales

member: #family_Characeae__Characeae green algae superficially resembling horsetail ferns: stoneworts
member: #stonewort any of various submerged aquatic algae of the genus Chara having nodes with whorled filamentlike branches; usually encrusted with calcium carbonate deposits
member: #genus_Chara__Chara green algae common in freshwater lakes of limestone districts
member: #genus_Nitella__Nitella fragile branching stoneworts
member: #family_Desmidiaceae__Desmidiaceae unicellular algae
member: #genus_Desmidium__Desmidium a genus of protoctista
member: #desmid freshwater green algae
