--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>usually green to blackish green. <b>Stems</b> to 0.6 cm, central strand present. <b>Stem</b> leaves appressed, imbricated, incurved when dry, widely spreading and not keeled when moist, monomorphic, ovate to elliptical, broadly concave adaxially across leaf, usually 0.4–1(–2) mm, base scarcely differentiated in shape, margins usually recurved to revolute to near apex but sometimes plane, entire, apex obtuse to rounded, often strongly cucullate, not fragile; costa percurrent or ending a 2–6 cells below the apex, slightly broader at mid leaf, usually strongly spurred, little tapering, with a low adaxial pad of cells, adaxial costal cells quadrate, (4–)6–8 cells wide at mid leaf, guide cells in 1 layer; basal laminal cells differentiated somewhat medially or across leaf, walls weakly thickened or thin, rectangular, not perforated; distal laminal cells 7–10 wide, 1:1, papillae absent or low, simple or 1 multiplex, rather flat papilla per lumen, lumens oval to rounded-quadrate, walls convex on both sides of lamina, 1-stratose or occasionally 2-stratose in patches. <b>Specialized</b> asexual reproduction rare, by unicellular gemmae in masses in leaf axils. <b>Seta</b> 0.4–0.9 cm. <b>Capsule</b> 0.7–1.5 mm; peristome teeth absent to rudimentary, irregularly ligulate, to 65 µm. <b>Spores</b> 9–11 µm. <b>Distal</b> laminal KOH reaction light brown to medium orange-brown.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Distinctive characters of <i>Didymodon revolutus</i> in combination are: arid habitat, ovate leaves with often revolute margins, subpercurrent, strongly spurred costa (with one or more lateral costal cells wending into the lamina), one layer of guide cells, and rudimentary or absent peristome. Like <i>Didymodon perobtusus</i> and <i>Bryoerythrophyllum</i> calcareum, <i>D. revolutus</i> has unicellular gemmae occasionally present in the leaf axils; the similar <i>D. brachyphyllus</i> has multicellular gemmae, has ovate to short-lanceolate leaves that lack hydroids in the costa, and have laminal cell lumens that are quadrate or angled. In an Arizona collection (E. B. Bartram 1688, Musci Acroc. Bor.-Amer. Eur. 642, NY), <i>D. brachyphyllus</i> and <i>D. revolutus</i> were mixed, though easily separated by the above characters.</p>
