Information about each species' taxonomy, nomenclature and distribution is included, and the algae covered include terrestrial as well as marine and freshwater species, such as seaweeds, phytoplankton, and freshwater algae. As of 2019, marine species have the best coverage, including sea-grasses. [3] As of 2014 there were nearly 17,000 images ...
Turbinaria J.V. Lamouroux is a genus under family Sargassaceae, order Fucales, of the class Phaeophyceae (brown algae). Taxonomic classification is based on morphological characteristics including the shape of the leaves, vesicles, and receptacles, as well as the development of the axes. [4]
Over 7,000 species are currently described for the red algae, [5] but the taxonomy is in constant flux with new species described each year. [41] [42] The vast majority of these are marine with about 200 that live only in fresh water. Some examples of species and genera of red algae are: Cyanidioschyzon merolae, a primitive red alga ...

The genus name of Jania is derived from the Greek water nymph called Ianeira (or Janeria). [2] It was first circumscribed by Jean Vincent Félix Lamouroux in 1812. [3] Based on a recent integrated taxonomic examination of the genus, and by extension its tribe Janieae, the members of Cheilosporum and Haliptilon have all been transferred under genus Jania [4].
The classification of heterokonts is still unsettled: they may be designated a division, phylum, kingdom, or something intermediate to those. Consequently, diatoms are ranked anywhere from a class, usually called Diatomophyceae or Bacillariophyceae , to a division (=phylum), usually called Bacillariophyta , with corresponding changes in the ...
