Talk:Chlorophytina

Factual accuracy

Ad Factual accuracy: None of the sources cited in the article (nor any other source I have been able to find) says that the name Chlorophytina refers to this particular clade. In fact, the name Chlorophytina refers to what is called Tetraphytina in this article, which makes this article redundant. 2A02:AB04:2C44:1900:2498:4760:BDF2:CA18 (talk) 12:18, 19 January 2021 (UTC)

agreed. Citations here are not useful. Everything I can find instead refers to chlorophytina as all 5 groups "Tetraphytina" refers to. Including AlgaeBase and WoRMS. Including this article (and correction). I think they should probably be merged under Chlorophytina and the tree corrected. Cyanochic (talk) 21:32, 29 September 2024 (UTC)

Info from blanked Tetraphytina page

After looking at multiple sources in above comment and on main article page, I am blanking and redirecting Tetraphytina to this page. I found multiple sources supporting Chlorophytina and the 5 classes belonging to it (including WoRMS and AlgaeBase).

The clade in this article is nearly identical to that posted on the original Tetraphytina page except for 2 things. 1) I relocated the Chlorophytina label to accurately reflect sources. 2) I collapsed a clade outside of the focal Chlorophytina clade for brevity.

Original "Tetraphytina" figure before my modifications:

Viridiplantae = green algae (incl. Embryophyta)
