Euglena is the genus name of certain unicellularprotists. Most are green, but not all contain chloroplasts. There are more than 1,000 species (and counting) in this genus.

Currently, there is controversy concerning the classification of some of these single celled organisms, since some exhibit characteristics of both plant and animal.
