Plants mostly small to moderately sized, stiff, loosely tufted, olivaceous distally, blackish brown proximally. Stems (1.5-)2-3(-3.5) cm long. Leaves appressed, closely imbricate, erect, lingulate to oblong-lanceolate, (1.7-)2.0-2.5(-3.0) × 0.7-0.8(-0.9) mm; margins 2(-4)-stratose throughout, variously recurved on both sides in the proximal 1/2, plane distally, entire basally, bluntly erose-dentate at the extreme apex or sometimes down the margin in the upper one fourth, occasionally subentire, bordered from nearly the base by (1-)2-10(-13) rows of cells in 2(-4) layers; apices acute to long-acuminate, less often rounded-obtuse and subacute; costa subpercurrent, entire and only shortly forked at the tip, 70-90(-120) µm wide; laminal cells 1-stratose throughout (except for the margins) to variously 2-stratose near the apex and with 2-stratose streaks in the proximal part, without or with inconspicuous papillae over the cell walls. Inner perichaetial leaves sheathing, yellowish brown to hyaline proximally, chlorophyllose in the upper one third and, with areolation similar to that of the vegetative leaves and with frequent 2-stratose patches at the margin. Seta brown, 4-4.2 mm. Capsule obloid to shortly cylindric, 1.5-2 mm; peristome teeth 340-420 µm, orange-brown, irregularly split to the middle or slightly below into 2-3 filiform prongs, densely papillose. Spores 15-20 µm.
