Barinophyton was a genus of early land plant with branching axes. It is placed in a group of early vascular plants (tracheophytes), the barinophytes, a group that has been given various ranks and scientific names.^[4] Known fossils are of Devonian to Carboniferous age (419 to 299 million years ago).^[1]

Phylogeny

Kenrick and Crane in 1997 placed two species of Barinophyton along with the genus

lycophytes

† Hicklingia  †basal groups  Adoketophyton, Discalis, Distichophytum (=Rebuchia), Gumuia, Huia, Zosterophyllum myretonianum, Z. llanoveranum, Z. fertile  †'core' zosterophylls  Zosterophyllum divaricatum, Tarella, Oricilla, Gosslingia, Hsua, Thrinkophyton, Protobarinophyton, Barinophyton obscurum, B. citrulliforme, Sawdonia, Deheubarthia, Konioria, Anisophyton, Serrulacaulis, Crenaticaulis  †basal groups  Nothia, Zosterophyllum  deciduum  lycopsids  extant and extinct members

The phylogenetic position of the barinophytes remains disputed. Taylor et al. in 2009 considered the barinophytes to be possible lycopsids rather than zosterophylls.^[1] Hao and Xue in 2013 suggested that they were not lycopsids, instead falling between this group and the euphyllophytes.^[7]
