Non green plants is a term used in the past to describe fungi. Before the Whittaker 5 - kingdom system (1969), There were 4 kingdoms used in classification; bacteria, protists, plants and animals. Fungi were grouped in with plants, but because they lacked chlorophyll, they were referred to as non green plants. Today they are a separate kingdom under Domain Eukarya.
