Plants 5-20 mm, in loose light green to gray-green mats, evenly foliate with distant, spreading leaves, the distal ones sometimes forming a comal tuft, not tomentose. Leaves 6 mm, lanceolate, keeled, long-decurrent, gradually narrowed into a fine channelled, concolorous, straight tip that is denticulate at the outermost apex; alar cells large, inflated and auriculate, hyaline; basal laminal cells rectangular, moderately thick-walled, narrower and thin-walled in several marginal rows; distal laminal cells elongate, 6-10:1, not sharply delimited from the basal laminal cells; costa relatively narrow, filling 1/4-1/3 of leaf width, excurrent, in transverse section with a adaxial band of hyalocysts that are slightly smaller than the median deuters, abaxially with groups of stereids, smooth at back.
