Palmophyllales

The Palmophyllales are a deep-branching order of thalloid green alga, possibly forming a sister group to the
Chlorophyta. They survive today in deep waters, where
predation pressure is reduced. The group contains the
genera Palmophyllum, Verdigellas and Palmoclathrus.[1]
The morphology of Palmophyllales is unusual in that they
are composed of cells in a gelatinous matrix, so they are
multicellular, but not in a conventional way.[2]
