Horizontal stems on substrate surface. Upright shoots clustered, mainly unbranched or sparsely branching mainly at base, 1.2--1.6 cm diam.; annual bud constrictions abrupt and conspicuous. Lateral branchlets few and like upright shoots but annual bud constrictions absent. Leaves spreading to reflexed, dark green, linear-lanceolate, (2.5--)5--8 X 0.6--1.2 mm; margins closely and shallowly dentate mainly in distal 1/2; apex sharply pointed, lacking hair tip. Strobili solitary, sessile on shoots, 15--30 X 3.5--4.5 mm. Sporophylls (1.5--)3.5 X 0.7(--2) mm, abruptly narrowed to pointed tip. 2 n = 68.
