| | Green plants |
 | | Green plants include all organisms commonly known as green algae and land plants, including liverworts, mosses, ferns and other nonseed plants, and seed plants. |
 | | Green plants as defined here includes a broad assemblage of photosynthetic organisms that all contain chlorophylls a and b, store their photosynthetic products as starch inside the double-membrane-bounded chloroplasts in which it is produced, and have cell walls made of cellulose (Raven et al., 1992). |
 | | The groups represent classes of green algae, except for the "Prasinophytes," which, although erected as a class (Prasinophyceae), is apparently a paraphyletic, basal radiation within the "green algal" lineage (Melkonian, 1990; Friedl, 1995; Melkonian and Surek, 1995). |
