Mesostigma viride is a species of freshwater green algae. It is now considered to be one of the earliest diverging members of green plants/algae (Viridiplantae).
Earlier studies were unable to resolve the position of the species, and it was often placed as a sister to all other green algae, as one of the basal members of the Streptophyta, or as close to Chaetosphaeridium.[1][2][3] More recent studies agree that Mesostigma and Chlorokybus form a clade, being the earliest diverging green plants.[4][5][6][7]
