--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>absent distinctive odor when dry, distal portion of leafy shoot readily caducous. <b>Stems</b> in cross section with 2 layers of thicker walled epidermal cells, stoloniferous stems mainly subterranean. <b>Leaves</b> typically of thick-walled cells, in 4 segments, connate at base, cross section of each segment with 3–5 inner cells and 10–15 smaller outer epidermal cells, outer cells small, 25 × 10 µm, regularly arranged. <b>Slime</b> hairs thick-walled. <b>Sporophytes</b> infrequent. <b>Capsule</b> terminal, usually single.</span><!--

|phenology=Capsules mature late summer–early fall (Jul–Sep).
|habitat=Uncommon to rare on moist soils and shaded banks, slopes and over rocks in tundra
|elevation=low to moderate elevations (70-700 m)
|distribution=Alaska;Asia (China in Yunnan;India in Sikkim;Nepal).
|discussion=<p><i>Takakia ceratophylla</i> appears to be somewhat tolerant of desiccation. Frequently it grows with other drought-tolerant bryophytes such as <i>Andreaea</i> and Gymnomitrion. The shoots are more rigid than those of <i>T. lepidozioides</i>, and leaf arrangement is more regular. Rhizomatous shoots are predominantly subterranean.</p>
