Plants, crowded, caespitose, pale-green. Stems erect,  forked at base, angled, 15–20 mm, yellowish green, central strand present; rhizoidal tomentum dense, branched, dark-red, covering the lower _ of the stem, rhizoids dimorphic, papillose; axillary hairs with 2–3 red, cylindrical basal cells, terminal cell hyaline, clavate, becoming glutinous in age. Leaves erect-spreading when moist, irregularly inrolled, undulate, folded with the apex typically recurved when dry, somewhat clasping, long-decurrent, spathulate, 5 x 2–3 mm; apices short apiculate, apiculus occasionally multicellular; margins bluntly serrulate or crenulate above, bordered by 2–3 rows of hyaline cells at base; costa single, subpercurrent ending 4–10 cells below the apex; cells lax, thin-walled, upper cells 69–112 x 32–47 μm, irregularly hexagonal-fusiform, radiating from the costa, basal cells 40–70 x 10–14 μm, rectangular, upper marginal cells 30–65 x 7–2 μm; lower marginal cells 50–95 x  5–10 μm. Autoicous. Setae 2–3 mm long, yellow, twisted. Capsules 3.5–4.0 mm long, emergent to shortly exserted, subcylindric, tapered toward and slightly contracted below the suboral band, abruptly differentiated from the seta, yellowish brown or olive, suboral band orange-brown, neck short, undifferentiated or slightly wrinkled; exothecial cells arranged in longitudinal files, 59–100 x 24–35 μm, rectangular, longitudinal walls slightly thicker than the cross walls, yellowish, suboral cells short-rectangular 19¬–24 x 14–16 μm; stomata in capsule neck, phaneroporic; opercula short-rostrate; peristome of 16 exostome teeth, narrowly triangular, incurved, fused laterally above, outer surface papillose, inner surface with irregular ridges, endostome absent. Spores spherical-subspherical, 15–19 x 10–18 μm, brown in mass, finely papillose. Calyptrae cucullate, 4–lobed.
