Chlorokybus is a multicellular (sarcinoid) genus of basal green algae or charophyte. It has been classified as the sole member of the family Chlorokybaceae,[3] which is the sole member of the order Chlorokybales,[4] in turn the sole member of the class Chlorokybophyceae.[5][6] It grows on soil and rock surfaces,[7] and is rare.[8]
