The CAM clade is a clade containing the Archaeplastida (Plantae sensu lato) and the clade Pancryptista. Phylogenomic analyses from 2022 support the clade Pancryptista and also mention that Archaeplastida's closest lineage is Pancryptista, making them sister taxa. Together, they form the clade CAM, which stands for the constituent clades (Cryptista, Archaeplastida, and Microheliella).[1]
