Plants small to medium-sized, loosely caespitose, yellow-green; terricolous or saxicolous. Stems 20-30(-50) mm high, branches few, tomentum on lower stem, red-brown; in section round, central strand small, inner cortical cells in 3-4 rows, weakly thickened, outer cortical cells in 2 rows, cells smaller, incrassate, red-yellow, epidermal cells quickly eroded, stem ± fluted. Leaves appressed dry, erect-spreading wet; ovate-acuminate to lanceolate, 1.0-1.5 mm long; apex acuminate; margins recurved to revolute or occasionally some leaves plane, serrate by prorate marginal cells. Costa percurrent and filling acumen to short-excurrent, ventral and dorsal superficial cells rectangular, prorate; in section bulging dorsally, guide cells 2-3, incrassate, ventral surface cells in single layer, thickened, dorsal stereid band small, cells in 2-3 rows, dorsal surface cells smaller than ventral cells, incrassate. Laminal cells rectangular, 2-7:1, weakly thickened, prorate to near base, mostly on ventral surface; basal cells short-rectangular; alar cells quadrate, smooth. Sporophyte not known.
