Stem leaves not catenulate, irregular, asymmetric, weakly falcate-secund, lustrous, weakly to strongly concave, distinctly 1 (or 2)-plicate, 0.7-1.4 mm; costa orange at least at base, distal abaxial surface serrulate; alar cells smooth, walls thin, region small; proximal laminal cells usually smooth; medial cells 14-50 × 4-7 µm, slightly shorter and wider proximally; apical cells strongly prorate. Branch leaves with medial and distal laminal cells more strongly prorulose. Seta yellow-orange, slender, flexuose. Capsule yellow-orange to red-brown, 1-2 mm; exostome teeth not bordered.
