• The members of Phaeophyceae or brown algae are found primarily in marine habitats.
• They show great variation in size and form. They range from simple branched, filamentous forms (Ectocarpus) to profusely branched forms as represented by kelps, which may reach a height of 100 meters.
• They possess chlorophyll a, c, carotenoids, and xanthophylls.
• They vary in colour from olive green to various shades of brown.
• The colour of brown algae depends upon the amount of the xanthophyll pigment, fucoxanthin present in them.
