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". Fossil members of the class may be placed in separate orders, e.g. Sycidiales and Trochiliscales. [1]
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.
Chara is a genus of charophyte green algae in the family Characeae. They are multicellular and superficially resemble land plants because of stem-like and leaf-like structures. They are found in freshwater, particularly in limestone areas throughout the northern temperate zone, where they grow submerged, attached to the muddy bottom.
Spirogyra (common names include water silk, mermaid's tresses, and blanket weed) is a genus of filamentous charophyte green algae of the order Zygnematales, named for the helical or spiral arrangement of the chloroplasts that is characteristic of the genus.

Ch. braunii has been placed on a "red" list of endangered algae in Poland in the category "indeterminate", but probably simply because of poor investigation of the species in Poland. [1] In Poland, the species was found exclusively in fish ponds, and it was suggested that C. braunii is limited to only this kind of ecosystem. However findings in ...
