Common name(s): none

Name as shown in Phylogenes: K. nitens

Ploidy: DiploidHaploid

Description:

Amborella trichopoda

Klebsormidium nitens is a

small, vascular land plant that is endemic to the South Pacific Islands of New Caledonia.Amborella, is the sole extant representative of the most basal clade of Angiosperms. As such, it plays an important role in understanding plant gene function and evolution of flowering plants.

charophytic algae that usually consists of multicellular and non-branching filaments without differentiated or specialized cells. Charophytic algae and land plants together make up a monophyletic group, streptophytes, which represents one of the main lineages of multicellular eukaryotes
