Fusitheca was a genus of land plant with branching axes. [1] It is known from charcoalified Early Devonian deposits, its type locality being the Brown Clee Hill lagerstätten. [2] Its spores form smooth-walled, unfused, naked dyads. [3] Its axis comprises length-parallel filaments, and their dichotomies are T-shaped, with the branches bending to continue upwards. [3]
