Plants medium-sized, caespitose, green; saxicolous. Stems (5-)10-25 mm high, little branched. Leaves crowded, incurved and ± crisped dry, erect-to widespreading wet; narrowly acuminate above oblong base, 4-5 mm long; acute; bistratose and frequently tristratose at margins; base weakly sheathing; margins plane above, spirally revolute in base. Costa percurrent, smooth dorsally and ventrally; in section bulging dorsally, guide cells 6, distinct, ventral stereid band 2 or 3 cells thick, ventral surface cells smaller than laminal cells, thickened, dorsal stereid band 3 cells thick, dorsal surface cells small, incrassate. Upper laminal cells small, variable in size and shape, rounded-quadrate to hexagonal or transversely short-rectangular, 4-6 µm, incrassate; basal cells long-rectangular to linear juxtacostally, abruptly short-rectangular to quadrate at margins, yellowish, thickened. Seta 2-3 mm long, yellow-brown. Capsule elliptical, 1.5 mm long, yellow-brown, mouth reddish. Peristome teeth narrowly triangular, variably perforated. Operculum long-rostrate, 1 mm long. Calyptra mitrate, lobed below, 2 mm long. Spores rounded, (12-)14(-16) µm, yellowish, granulate.
