HIERARCHICAL CLASSIFICATION OF THE PHYLUM CHRYSOPHYTA
| EUKARYA> CHROMALVEOLATA> HETEROKONTAE> CHRYSOPHYTA |
CHRYSOPHYTA LINKS
| This system is a modification of Margulis and Schwartz (1988 and 1998) in which it is designated Pr-4 and Pr-13, respectively. We have adopted the system proposed by Kristiansen (1982, cited in Bold and Wynne, 1985) and Kristiansen (1990). |
