All Living Genera of Uncertain Placement

Living Genera of Uncertain Placement is a Browse By group of the Nature Atlas that gathers genera of living organisms whose position in the tree of life has been revised more than once and is still unsettled, such as Hyalochlorella, a marine green alga that grows on seaweeds, was first classified as a fungus, was later linked to the green alga Chlorella, and also resembles ichthyosporean protists. An entry belongs here when its own cited article describes a living genus whose evolutionary position remains uncertain. It excludes fossil genera of unknown affinity, which have groups of their own by geological period. The group lets a reader find living organisms that classification has not yet settled.
