Codiaceae is a family of green algae in the order Bryopsidales. [1]
Synonyms:
The Ulvophyceae or ulvophytes are a class of green algae, distinguished mainly on the basis of ultrastructural morphology, life cycle and molecular phylogenetic data. The sea lettuce, Ulva, belongs here. Other well-known members include Caulerpa, Codium, Acetabularia, Cladophora, Trentepohlia and Monostroma.
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.
Codium is a genus of edible green macroalgae under the order Bryopsidales. The genus name is derived from a Greek word that pertains to the soft texture of its thallus. One of the foremost experts on Codium taxonomy was Paul Claude Silva at the University of California, Berkeley. P.C. Silva was able to describe 36 species for the genus and in honor of his work on Codium, the species C. silvae was named after the late professor.
Kornmanniaceae is a family of green algae in the order Ulvales.
Bracteacoccus is a genus of green algae, the sole genus of the family Bracteacoccaceae.
Physolinum is a genus of green algae in the family Trentepohliaceae. The only species in the genus, Physolinum monilia, is currently regarded as a synonym of Trentepohlia rigidula.
Struvea is a genus of green macroalgae in the family Boodleaceae.
Trichosarcina is a genus of green algae in the order Ulotrichales. Filoprotococcus was once regarded as a synonym. However, Filoprotococcus is now considered valid in its own right. Trichosarcina is considered to be of uncertain validity.
Arabicodium is a genus of green algae in the family Codiaceae.
Filoprotococcus is a genus of green algae in the order Ulotrichales. It was once regarded as a synonym of Trichosarcina. However, it is now accepted as a genus in its own right, and Trichosarcina is considered taxonomically uncertain.

Hapalidiaceae is a family of red alga belonging to the order Corallinales.
The Mesotaeniaceae are a small family of unicellular green algae known as the "saccoderm desmids". The Mesotaeniaceae appear to be sister or ancestral to the Zygnemataceae. The desmids are a deep branching group of Zygnemataceae. Spirotaenia was found to be a basal green alga.
Codium arabicum, commonly known as green sea cushion, is a species of seaweed in the Codiaceae family.
Codium bulbopilum is a species of seaweed in the Codiaceae family.
