Family:	†Nematothalaceae
Genus:	†Nematoplexus; Lyon 1962

Nematoplexus rhyniensis is a fossil known from the Rhynie chert assigned to the nematophytes.² It comprises a loose mass of coily aseptate tubes.³ Tubes which may have originated from a Nematoplexus-like plant are known from earlier Silurian sediments.⁴
