The green algae (singular: green alga) are a large, informal grouping of algae consisting of the Chlorophyte and Charophyte algae, which are now placed in separate Divisions.The land plants or Embryophytes (higher plants) are thought to have emerged from the Charophytes. As the embryophytes are not algae, and are therefore excluded, green algae are a paraphyletic group.
