9 Kingdom model from The U. of Florida
In this model there is no PROTISTA Kingdom; instead six individual Kingdoms are shown for sub groups.

Items in quotes are "grades". Sometimes called sub-kingdoms or superphylums, although there may be technical differences in these terms which I am not familiar with.
