Plants loosely caespitose, yellow-green; terricolous. Stem erect, 2-6 mm high, branching by subperichaetial innovations, in section inner cortical cells in 1-2 rows. Leaves bract like below, larger above, erect to spreading, concave; ovate to oblong, acuminate, 1.1-1.3 mm long; margins plane to occasionally narrowly recurved above, entire to crenulate. Costa strong-excurrent as short hair-point; in section semi-circular, ventral surface flat, cells incrassate or stereids. Laminal cells irregular, fusiform to rhomboidal; basal cells rectangular. Perichaetia terminal. Leaves erect, concave; broadly oblong-ovate, acuminate, 1.3-1.8 mm long; margins plane to narrowly recurved, entire to infrequently crenulate. Costa apiculate to excurrent as hair-point; in section semi-circular to crescent-shaped, ventral surface flat, ventral cells incrassate, dorsal cells smaller, incrassate or stereids. Laminal cells irregular, rhomboidal to fusiform, 50-75 µm long; rectangular at margin; basal cells irregularly rectangular to rhomboidal, hyaline in marginal region. Spores 12-52 per capsule, irregularly rounded-tetrahedral to polyhedral, 150-200 µm, smooth, yellow.
