Rhynia is thought to have had deciduous lateral branches, which it used to disperse laterally over the substrate[REF][REF] and stands of the plant may therefore have been clonal populations.
Evidence of the gametophyte generation of Rhynia has been described in the form of crowded tufts of diminutive stems only a few mm in height, with the form genus name Remyophyton delicatum [REF].
