Viridiplantae (literally "green plants")[1][2][3] are a clade comprising the green algae and land plants.[4][5]
In some classification systems they have been treated as a kingdom,[6] under various names, e.g. Viridiplantae, Chlorobionta, or simply Plantae.
Together with Rhodophyta and glaucophytes, Viridaeplantae are thought to belong to a larger clade called Primoplantae or Archaeplastida.
The monophyletic Chlorophyta and Streptophyta are classified under Viridiplantae.[7]
There are more than 350,000 species of Viridiplantae.[8]
Viridiplantae do not possess class-I myosins.[9]
