           member:  #genus_Chlamydomonas__Chlamydomonas  type genus of the Chlamydomonadaceae; solitary doubly-flagellated plant-like algae common in fresh water and damp soil; multiply freely; often a pest around filtration plants
     member:  #order_Zygnematales__Zygnematales__Zygnemales__order_Zygnemales  pond scums; desmids
        member:  #family_Zygnemataceae__Zygnemataceae  pond scums: common freshwater algae forming green slimy masses

           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:  #order_Charales__Charales  small order of macroscopic fresh and brackish water algae with a distinct axis: stoneworts
        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
