Plant family
Called “Stoneworts” in GBIF
Characeae is a family of freshwater green algae in the order Charales, commonly known as stoneworts. They are also known as brittleworts or skunkweed, from the fragility of their lime-encrusted stems, and from the foul odor these produce when stepped on.

Latest finding
Stonewort, a freshwater green alga related to the ancestors of land plants, already had a complex chemical signaling system built from inositol phosphates. It shifts these molecules in response to light, dark and heat, which suggests land plants inherited a stress-sensing toolkit that predates life on land.
