Tarrantia is a form genus of small fossil plants of Early Devonian age. The diagnostic characters are naked parallel-sided axes branching isotomously, terminating in solitary elliptical to ovate sporangia with height greater than width. The relationships of the genus are not clear because many anatomical details remain unknown.
The only known species is from Wales.
