Nemacladus sigmoideus is a species of flowering plant in the bellflower family known by the common name sigmoid threadplant. It is native to the mountains and deserts around the intersection of California , Nevada, Arizona, and Baja California. It is a small annual herb producing a thin, spreading purplish or brown stem no more than 12 centimeters long. Hairy, sometimes toothed oval leaves up to a centimeter long occur at the base of the plant. The inflorescence is a series of zigzagging branches bearing flowers on thin pedicels which are sigmoid in shape. There is a single tiny bract at the base of each pedicel. The hairy flower is under 4 millimeters long. It has five yellow-tipped white lobes.
