Talk:Green alga

The text here was deliberately indecisive about whether the green algae should be placed among the Protista or the Plantae, since it is done both ways. The algae are of definite affinity to the higher plants, sharing common pigmentation and ultrastructure, but have a typically protozoan organization. Should the table (as per ciliate, dandelion) list one kingdom, the other, or both as parents? The same question applies as to whether the chytrids should count as fungi.

Tax box
See my sandbox for a suggested update to the taxbox. I am happy to keep the Plantae Kingdom though. Onco p53 23:45, 24 Jan 2005 (UTC)

I am going to do it then. Chlorophyceae  Pedinophyceae  Picocystophyceae  Prasinophyceae Trebouxiophyceae Ulvophyceae  I'll keep these here temporarily since this is going to be moved off the main page Onco p53 03:48, 26 Jan 2005 (UTC)

Kingdom Viridiplantae
How about placing green algae in the Kingdom Viridiplantae? That would account for both the Kingdom Protista and Plantae characters of it.
