reticulata Fanning et al. 1992 Uskiella is a genus of small fossil plants of Early Devonian age (around 420 to 390 million years ago).

The diagnostic characters are naked axes branching isotomously, terminating in ellipsoidal, vertically elongate flat sporangia which split longitudinally into two valves.

[1] The relationships of the genus are not clear because many anatomical details remain unknown.

In 2004, Crane et al. published a cladogram for the polysporangiophytes in which Uskiella is basal to the lycophytes (clubmosses and relatives).
