Stem leaves triangular-lingulate to lingulate; 0.7-0.8 mm; apex rounded and often erose, hyaline cells nonseptate or sometimes 1-septate, numerous small round pores more than 2 µm along the commissures and scattered across the cell on the convex surface, on the concave surface fewer similar-sized pores along the commissures. Branches short and slightly curved Branch fascicles with 2 spreading and 2 pendent branches. Branch leaves ovate, 1.1-1.3 mm, distinctly curved to secund; hyaline cells covered with numerous (more than 30 per cell) tiny pores (ca. 1 µm) on convex surface along the commissures and across the cell surface, sometimes forming several linear rows of free pores, on concave surface with fewer pores round to oval and slightly larger (more than 2 µm) restricted to commissures.
