G.M. Smith's Algae Classification Guide

This document provides an overview of the classification of algae. It introduces the main divisions of algae, which include Chlorophyta, Euglenophyta, Pyrrophyta, Chrysophyta, Phaeophyta, Cyanophyta and Rhodophyta. For each division, it lists the classes and sometimes orders that algae are classified into. It also provides some key details about habitat, pigments, food reserves, thallus structure, and reproduction for some of the major classes and orders. Examples of algae are given for some orders to illustrate the classification. References used in developing the classification are listed at the end.
