Plants small, pale whitish, somewhat glossy. Stems 0.3–0.8 cm. Leaves erect to ± spreading, lanceolate, 0.7–1.2 mm; base not or scarcely decurrent; margins serrulate to serrate in distal 1/3; costa subpercurrent; distal medial laminal cells linear-rhomboidal, 65–110 µm, walls thin. Specialized asexual reproduction occasionally present; rhizoidal tubers orange, orange-brown, or yellow. Sexual condition dioicous; perigonial leaves ovate; perichaetial leaves weakly differentiated, lanceolate to linear-lanceolate. Seta orange-brown. Capsule inclined 95–180°, brown to stramineous, broadly short-pyriform, neck 1/3 urn length; exothecial cells short-rectangular, walls sinuate; stomata superficial; annulus present; operculum short- to long-conic; exostome teeth light yellow-brown, triangular-acute; endostome hyaline, basal membrane 1/2 exostome length, segments tapered apically, distinctly keeled, broadly perforate, cilia short to rudimentary. Spores 15–21 µm, finely roughened.
Phenology: Capsules mature spring (Apr–Jun).
Habitat: Disturbed soil, soil on upturned tree bases, path banks, rock crevices, along streams

Discussion
Pohlia lescuriana is an inconspicuous woodland species in eastern North America; it often grows in small sterile patches and can be recognized by the slender, pale green shoots. The sporophytes, never common, are short-pyriform to urceolate when dry. Yellow to orange gemmae sometimes occur on the rhizoids.
