Stem leaves generally longer than branch leaves, 1.1-1.7 mm, lingulate to lingulate-spathulate, hyaline cells mostly non-septate. Branches terete. Branch fascicles of 2 spreading and 1-2 hanging branches. Branch stems with 1-2 layers of cortical cells. Branch leaves 1-1.4 mm, broadly ovate, with a narrow involute tip; hyaline cells only slightly bulging on either surface, in proximal half of leaf aporose on convex surface and with large faint pores on concave surface; internal commissural walls distinctly papillose; chlorophyllous cells elliptical to elliptical-triangular in transverse section, enclosed on both surfaces with the widest part in the leaf middle. Sexual condition dioicous. Spores ca. 31 µm, ornamented by small somewhat amalgamated granulae.
