Anisophyton was a genus of Early Devonian land plant with branching axes. [2] Known fossils are of Emsian age ( 408 to 393 million years ago). [1]
A cladogram published in 2004 by Crane et al. places Anisophyton in the core of a paraphyletic stem group of broadly defined " zosterophylls", basal to the lycopsids (living and extinct clubmosses and relatives). [3]
