Charophyta (UK: / k ə ˈ r ɒ f ɪ t ə, ˌ k ær ə ˈ f aɪ t ə /) is a group of freshwater green algae, called charophytes (/ ˈ k ær ə ˌ f aɪ t s /), sometimes treated as a division, [2] yet also as a superdivision [3] or an unranked clade.
Zygnematophyceae (or Conjugatophyceae) is a class of green algae in the paraphylum streptophyte algae, also referred to as Charophyta, [2] consisting of more than 4000 described species. [3] The Zygnematophyceae are the sister clade of the Embryophyta (land plants).
In its vegetative state, Mougeotia appears essentially identical to two other genera, Transeauina and Temnogametum. Transeauina (formerly known as Debarya) is distinguished from Mougeotia in having gametangia filled with layers of pectin giving it a stratified appearance.

Charophyceae is a class of charophyte green algae. AlgaeBase places it in division Charophyta. [1] Extant (living) species are placed in a single order Charales, [2] commonly known as "stoneworts" and "brittleworts".
The Zygnemataceae are a family [2] of filamentous or unicellular, uniseriate (unbranched) green algae.The filaments are septated and reproduction is by conjugation; Spirogyra is commonly used in schools to demonstrate this kind of reproduction.
Charales is an order of freshwater green algae in the division Charophyta, class Charophyceae, commonly known as stoneworts. Depending on the treatment of the genus Nitellopsis, living (extant) species are placed into either one family or two (Characeae and Feistiellaceae). Further families are used for fossil members of the order.
