Bracteophyton is a genus of extinct vascular plants of the Early Devonian (around 420 to 390 million years ago) comprising a single species, Bracteophyton variatum.
[1] Fossils were first found in the Xujiachong Formation of eastern Yunnan, China.
They bore terminal 'spikes' (strobili) consisting of spirally arranged fertile 'units'.
The arrangement of the sporangia resembles that of some zosterophylls, but the plant's discoverers considered its relationships uncertain.
[1] In 2013, Hao (one of the discoverers) and Xue listed the genus as a barinophyte.
