Hexagonocaulon is an extinct genus of bryophyte that lived during the Middle Triassic. Its fossils have been found throughout the Southern Hemisphere, including the Antarctic Peninsula.[1]
The plant is believed to have been small in size and to have reproduced through spores.[2] Of the bryophytes, Hexagonocaulon is considered to be most closely related to the liverworts.
