A phylogeny is a description, in words or diagrams, of the evolutionary history of a group of related species. It depicts a sequence of branching events and may also identify the characteristic features that mark various lineages.

As the below graphical illustration suggests, land plants and closely related green algae (charophytes) are classified as Streptophytes; the remaining green algae are chlorophytes. In simpler words, green algae and land plants comprise the Viridiplantae kingdom, which consists of two phyla: Chlorophyta (green algae) and Streptophyta (charophyte algae and land plants).
