Chlorophytina is a subphylum within Chlorophyta and includes five classes.^[2]^[3] It contains the more well-known green algae and is characterized by the presence of phycoplasts.

Taxonomy

Below is a consensus reconstruction of green algal relationships, mainly based on molecular data. Molecular phylogenies do not always agree on the position of species within Pedinophyceae.^[4]^[5]
