Sciadophyton is a morphotaxon of lower Devonian plants known only from compression fossils. It is interpreted as the monoicous gametophyte of a vascular land plant, because its vascularised branches end in a cup-shaped structure bearing gametangia, both antheridia and archegonia, but little structural information is preserved at the cellular level. It formed rosettes of stems, which may have radiated from a basal gametophytic corm-like thallus or from a central 'stem' or even from a root system, although there is not enough evidence to discriminate between these possibilities.

- Sciadophyton is een morfotaxon van Onder-Devoonse planten die alleen bekend zijn van samengeperste fossielen. Het wordt geïnterpreteerd als de monoïsche gametofyt van een vaatplant, omdat zijn gevasculariseerde takken eindigen in een komvormige structuur met gametangia, zowel antheridium als archegonium, maar er is weinig structurele informatie bewaard op cellulair niveau.

Het vormde rozetten van stengels, die mogelijk zijn uitgestraald vanuit een basale gametofytische knolachtige thallus of vanuit een centrale stengel of zelfs vanuit een wortelsysteem, hoewel er onvoldoende bewijs is om onderscheid te maken tussen deze mogelijkheden.
