Schematic phylogenetic relationship in the green lineage. Only species discussed in this review have been highlighted. The phylogenetic tree was modified after Bowman et al. (2007) and Chang et al. (2016). It covers all green algae and terrestrial plants described in the review. Later phylogenetic trees have a focus on Charophytes (Bowman, 2013) or Bryophytes (Bowman et al., 2017).
