The Chromulinales are a large order of heterokont algae, found mostly in freshwater. They are distinguished primarily by the structure of the flagella in motile cells. Members of this group range are mostly unicellular, but show various different organizations, originally treated as separate orders. Many of the other orders of golden algae now recognized on the basis of cell structure were originally included in one of these, and it is possible some other groups will be removed as more species become better understood.
