The type species within the genus Ulva is Ulva lactuca, lactuca being Latin for "lettuce". The genus also includes the species previously classified under the genus Enteromorpha, the former members of which are known under the common name green nori.
Cystophora is a genus of brown algae.
Cystoseira is a genus of brown algae in the order Fucales.
The Delessericaeae is a family of about 100 genera of marine red alga.
Nitella is a genus of charophyte green algae in the family Characeae.
Rhodymenia is a genus of red algae, containing the following species:
Plocamium is a genus of red algae in the family Plocamiaceae. It contains around 40 species and has a cosmopolitan distribution in temperate seas. Plocamium has erect elliptical thalli that grow up to 50 cm (20 in) in length. They are bright red in color with strongly flattened delicately branching fronds that further divide into two to five smaller branchlets.
Vidalia is a tropical red algae genus in the family Rhodomelaceae.
Gymnothamnion is a red alga genus in the family Wrangeliaceae.
Desmarestia is a genus of brown algae found worldwide. It is also called acid weed, acidweed, oseille de mer, sea sorrel, ウルシグサ, stacheltang, mermaid's hair, landlady's wig, or gruagach. However, 'sea sorrel' can also specifically refer to Desmarestia viridis. Members of this genus can be either annual or perennial. Annual members of this genus store sulfuric acid in intracellular vacuoles. When exposed to air they release the acid, thereby destroying themselves and nearby seaweeds in the process. They are found in shallow intertidal zones.
Phyllophora is a genus of red algae in the family Phyllophoraceae.
Dictyota is a genus of seaweed in the family Dictyotaceae. Species are predominantly found in tropical and subtropical seas, and are known to contain numerous chemicals (diterpenes) which have potential medicinal value. As at the end of 2017, some 237 different diterpenes had been identified from across the genus.
Ptilonia(Harvey) J. Agardh, 1863 is a genus of red algae in the family Bonnemaisoniaceae.
