Plants robust, larger than 10 cm high, pale green tinged with yellow, in large compact tufts. Stem cortex in 2–3 layers, hyaline cells large, fibrillose and porose; central cylinder yellowish brown. Stem leaves 3.8–4.3 mm × 1.2–1.5 mm, flat, oblong-ligulate, rounded obtuse, lacerate or irregular dentate at the apex; borders hyaline; hyaline cells oblong-rhomboidal to linear-rhomboidal, densely fibrillose and porose, similar to those of branch leaves. Branches in fascicles of 4–5, with 2 spreading, hyaline cells 1 layer, large and thin-walled. Branch leaves ca. 2 mm × 1.8–2.0 mm, broadly ovate to oblong-ovate, strongly concave, margins cucullate and rounded at the apex; hyaline cells irregularly oblong-rhomboidal, densely fibrillose, with half-circular pores at opposite ends on the dorsal surface, rarely with pores on the ventral surface; green cells in cross section isosceles-triangular, exposed on the ventral surface, enclosed by large, hyaline cells on the dorsal surface.
