List of Chlorophyceae genera

The Chlorophyceae are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology.

The chloroplast may be discoid, plate-like, reticulate, cup-shaped, spiral or ribbon shaped, depending on the species.

Most of the members have one or more storage bodies called pyrenoids located in the chloroplast.

This list of genera in Chlorophyceae is sub-divided by order and family.

Some genera have uncertain taxonomic placement and are listed as incertae sedis.
