Fissidens dissitifolius is usually found encrusted with lime; the species is distinguished by the lanceolate to oblong-lanceolate leaves, acute to obtuse apex often ending in a unicellular apiculus, entire to distally crenulate-serrulate margins, bordered throughout (ending a few cells below the apex), vaginant laminae 1/2-2/3 the leaf length, costa ending well below the apex (to 15 cells) or percurrent, and smooth, rarely bulging laminal cells (often notably shrunken or clapsed when dry).
 
Fissidens dissitifolius generalmente se encuentra incrustada en cal; esta especie se distingue por las hojas lanceoladas a oblongo-lanceoladas, ápice agudo a obtuso a menudo terminando en un apículo unicelular, márgenes enteros a distalmente crenulado-serrulados, completamente bordeados (terminando unas cuantas células debajo del ápice), lámina vaginante 1/2-2/3 del largo de la hoja, costa terminando muy por debajo del ápice (hasta 15 células) o percurrente, y células de la lámina lisas, rara vez abultadas (a menudo muy reducidas o colapsdo en seco).
