Stem leaves loosely erect, usually slightly contorted or curved when dry, lanceolate to narrowly lanceolate, 3–4 mm; margins revolute nearly to apex, entire; apex acuminate to narrowly acute; basal laminal cells elongate, walls thick, nodose or wavy; distal cells 7–13 µm, 1-stratose, papillae 1–3 per cell, conic or 2-fid, large. Specialized asexual reproduction absent. Sexual condition gonioautoicous. Seta 1–3 mm.
