Clade of algae
The Chlorophytina are a proposed basal Tetraphytina clade .[ 2] [ 3] It is currently seen as sister of the Pedinomonadaceae . It contains the more well-known green alga and is characterized by the presence of phycoplasts .
Below is a consensus reconstruction of green algal relationships, mainly based on molecular data et al.[ 4] [ 5] [ 6]
