Characteristics

Plants in compact hairy cushions, grayish green. Stems 1-2 cm, cen-tral strand absent. Leaves ovate to oblong-lanceolate, 0.1-1.15 × 0.3-0.5 mm, keeled, not plicate, margins plane, awns 1-2 mm, very long, smooth to slightly dentic-ulate, flattened basally, long-decurrent, costal transverse section prominent, semi-circular; basal juxtacostal laminal cells rectangular, sometimes nodulose, thin-to thick-walled; basal marginal laminal cells rectangular with thickened transverse walls, pellucid in 2-4 rows; medial laminal cells rounded-quadrate, slightly sinuose, thick-walled; distal laminal cells yellowish green, 1-stratose with 2-stratose ridges, not bulging, marginal cells 2-stratose, not bulging. Sexual condition dioicous, perichaetial leaves enlarged. [Seta straight, 1.5-2 mm. Capsule absent in northern hemisphere material, emergent to shortly exserted, yellowish brown, oblate, exothecial cells irregularly short-rectangular, thin-walled, stomata absent, annulus of 1 row of quadrate, thick-walled cells, operculum mammillate to rostrate, peristome present, nearly fully-developed, split and perforated only in apex, papillose.]
