Ahnfeltiales
Ahnfeltiales is an order of red algae belonging to the class Florideophyceae Florideophyceae is a class of red algae. They were once thought to be the only algae to bear pit connections, but these have since been found in the filamentous stage of the Bangiaceae. They were also thought only to exhibit apical growth, but .... The order consists only one family: Ahnfeltiaceae.

Red Algae
Red algae, or Rhodophyta (, ; ), are one of the oldest groups of eukaryotic algae. The Rhodophyta also comprises one of the largest phyla of algae, containing over 7,000 currently recognized species with taxonomic revisions ongoing. The majority of species (6,793) are found in the Florideophyceae (class), and mostly consist of multicellular, marine algae, including many notable seaweeds. Red algae are abundant in marine habitats but relatively rare in freshwaters. Approximately 5% of red algae species occur in freshwater environments, with greater concentrations found in warmer areas. Except for two coastal cave dwelling species in the asexual class Cyanidiophyceae, there are no terrestrial species, which may be due to an evolutionary bottleneck in which the last common ancestor lost about 25% of its core genes and much of its evolutionary plasticity. The red algae form a distinct group characterized by having eukaryotic cells without flagella and centrioles, chloroplasts that l ...

Florideophyceae
Florideophyceae is a class of red algae. They were once thought to be the only algae to bear pit connections, but these have since been found in the filamentous stage of the Bangiaceae. They were also thought only to exhibit apical growth, but there are genera known to grow by intercalary growth. Most, but not all, genera have three phases to the life cycle. Classification There are various classification schemes; see red algae. One option is to use the following: Subclass Hildenbrandiophycidae * Hildenbrandiales Subclass Nemaliophycidae * Acrochaetiales * Balbianiales * Balliales * Batrachospermales * Colaconematales * Nemaliales * Palmariales * Entwisleiales * Thoreales Subclass Corallinophycidae * Corallinales * Corallinapetrales * Rhodogorgonales * Sporolithales The subclass Corallinophycidae was introduced in 2007. Subclass Ahnfeltiophycidae * Ahnfeltiales * Pihiellales Subclass Rhodymeniophycidae * Bonnemaisoniales * Ceramiales * Gelidiales * G ...
