Thrinkophyton was a genus of Early Devonian land plant with branching axes.

[2] Known fossils are of Lochkovian to Pragian age (420 to 411 million years ago).

[3] A cladogram published in 2004 by Crane et al. places Thrinkophyton in the core of a paraphyletic stem group of broadly defined "zosterophylls", basal to the lycopsids (living and extinct clubmosses and relatives).
