Talk:Streptophyta

Completely unclear classification here
I see there are two clades: streptophyta and chlorophyta. This series of wikipedia articles confirms this. And yet right here in strptophyta it says that it includes chlorophyta.

So for a person trying to learn the evolutionary/phylogenetic tree for plants, this page only adds to the confusion and fails to fulfill its purpose. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.113.40.209 (talk) 23:07, 17 November 2016 (UTC)
 * The page doesn't make that statement. Are you perhaps confounding chlorophyta with charophyta? Sminthopsis84 (talk) 15:05, 18 November 2016 (UTC)

Streptophytina is not Streptophyta
Judd et al. in Plant Systematics makes a difference between them both. Streptophytina = Coleochaetales + Charales + Embryophyta. Streptophyta = Streptophytina + the rest of the green algae - Chlorophyta (Chlorophyta = Chlorophyceae + Trebouxiophyceae + Ulvophyceae). RoRo en wiki (talk) 14:05, 12 January 2009 (UTC)


 * As do Lewis & McCourt in the paper referenced in the article. Streptophyta should not be a redirect to Streptophytina; there needs to be two articles. If no-one else does it first, this is on my to-do list. Peter coxhead (talk) 09:34, 20 March 2011 (UTC)

Two new genera (Streptosarcina and Streptofilum)
A 2018 paper by Mikhailyuk and colleagues, New Taxa of Streptophyte Algae (Streptophyta) from Terrestrial Habitats Revealed Using an Integrative Approach, introduces 2 new genera, Streptosarcina and Streptofilum. The cladogram at Plant curiously includes Streptofilum, still redlinked. It'd be nice if they were discussed here, and even nicer if the links could turn blue.
