Cladophorales
Cladophorales are an order of green algae, in the class Ulvophyceae. Most members of this order are found in marine habitats; transitions to freshwater have occurred four times, in Pithophoraceae, Cladophora, Rhizoclonium, and Pseudorhizoclonium respectively. Only two genera, Spongiochrysis and Pseudorhizoclonium, are terrestrial.
The earliest known representative is Proterocladus antiquus from the Mesoproterozoic-Neoproterozoic boundary in North China.
