Asteroxylon is an extinct early vascular plant from the Devonian and is considered to lie near the base of the clubmoss lineage (Lycopsida). It has branching shoots up to several decimetres long with spirally arranged, simple leaf-like appendages and already possesses a primitive vascular (conducting) system.
The finds from Lindlar in the Bergisches Land (Mühlenberg Formation, Middle Eifelian, Middle Devonian) belong to this early clubmoss flora and document one of the most important Middle Devonian plant localities in Central Europe. They show that higher land plants had already colonised shallow lake and river margins near the equator about 390 million years ago.
