English. Definition:
- A taxonomic group of plants or algae, e.g. arthrophyte, cyanophyte.
Wrong. The taxonomic group names are translingual and end in -phyta. A cyanophyte is a member of the phylum Cyanophyta. I'm not exactly sure how to rework this, since it seems to be tied specifically to translingual -phyta, rather than being a general term for some taxonomic group.

- Maybe it only misses a label like "in plural", as e.g. cyanophytes (collectively) = Cyanophyta. -84.161.47.237 05:09, 25 March 2018 (UTC)
