Genus is a taxonomic rank used in the biological classification of living and fossil organisms as well as viruses. In the hierarchy of biological classification, genus comes above species and below family. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Glaucophyte</span> Division of algae

The glaucophytes, also known as glaucocystophytes or glaucocystids, are a small group of unicellular algae found in freshwater and moist terrestrial environments, less common today than they were during the Proterozoic. The stated number of species in the group varies from about 14 to 26. Together with the red algae (Rhodophyta) and the green algae plus land plants, they form the Archaeplastida.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Charales</span> Order of green algae in the division Charophyta

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 (Characeae) or two. Further families are used for fossil members of the order. Linnaeus established the genus Chara in 1753.

Charophyta is a group of freshwater green algae, called charophytes, sometimes treated as a division, yet also as a superdivision or an unranked clade. The terrestrial plants, the Embryophyta emerged deep within Charophyta, possibly from terrestrial unicellular charophytes, with the class Zygnematophyceae as a sister group.

<i>Daohugouthallus</i> Fossil lichen

Daohugouthallus is an extinct genus of lichen which was found in the Jurassic Haifanggou Formation near Daohugou village, Ningcheng County, China. It contains a single species, D. ciliiferus, and while it is considered to be most closely related to Parmeliaceae, a monogeneric family Daohugouthallaceae has been proposed. This macrolichen has been dated at approximately 165 Ma. It is thought that D. ciliiferus was a gymnosperm epiphyte and thus the earliest fossil example of an epiphytic macrolichen.
