Plants green to olive green or tan. Stems to 1.5 cm, central strand present. Stem leaves weakly spreading or rarely appressed when dry, spreading and often keeled when moist, monomorphic, ovate to long-elliptic but occasionally ovate-lanceolate, adaxially grooved along costa or broadly channeled, 1-2 mm, base ovate, margins recurved in proximal 3/4 of leaf and often decurrent on stem, entire, apex broadly acute to obtuse or rounded, often in same collection, not fragile; costa percurrent or ending 1-6 cells below the apex, tapering or rarely spurred above, sometimes much broadened at the base, pad of cells absent, adaxial costal cells elongate at least in the central 2 rows, 4 cells wide at mid leaf, guide cells in 1 layer; basal laminal cells weakly differentiated medially, quadrate or short-rectangular, walls usually thickened; distal laminal cells 9-12(-14) µm wide, 1:1, papillae usually absent, rarely simple and 1-2 per lumen, lumens rounded-quadrate or rounded, walls thin to thickened, weakly convex on both sides, 1-stratose. Specialized asexual reproduction specialized structures absent. Seta 0.7-1.2 cm. Capsule 0.6-1.5 mm; peristome teeth absent, rudimentary or short and 16, ligulate, cleft to near base, untwisted, to 220 µm. Spores 12-14(-20) µm. Distal laminal KOH reaction red-to orange-brown, occasionally yellow-brown.
Plants in dense cushions. Stems 10-50 mm long, central strand small. Leaves ovate-acuminate to lanceolate or ligulate, 1.0-1.8 mm long; apex acute to rounded; margins reflexed to recurved below; costa percurrent to ending below, ventral stereid band absent. Upper laminal cells rounded-quadrate, incrassate, some cells with low papillae. Capsule short-cylindrical, peristome absent.
