--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>small, turf-forming or loosely cespitose, green distally, sometimes brown proximally. <b>Stems</b> often branching, to 4 mm, hyalodermis absent, sclerodermis weak, central strand strong; rhizoids sparse; axillary hairs of up to 5 cells, the basal 1–2 yellow. <b>Cauline</b> leaves smaller proximally, distally much larger, rosulate, crowded, incurved to spreading, often tubulose and incurved-contorted when dry, widespreading when moist, spathulate to oblong-ligulate; base little different in shape; margins incurved, involute or sometimes plane, entire or distantly denticulate above; apex rounded-acute to broadly rounded-obtuse, usually apiculate; costa short-excurrent, percurrent or ending up to 4 cells before the apex, adaxial surface of bulging cells, adaxial epidermis of bulging or mammillose cells, abaxial epidermis weakly differentiated, 1–2 stereid bands, guide cells 2–4 in 1 layer, hydroid strand often present; basal cells not differentiated or distinct in a small medial group or across the base, quadrate to short-rectangular, hyaline to yellowish; distal laminal cells rounded-hexagonal, walls evenly thickened, adaxially bulging-mammillose, abaxially nearly plane; distal laminal papillae often absent, or solid, small, simple, 1–2 per lumen abaxially or occasionally on both sides. <b>Specialized</b> asexual reproduction absent [gemmae present in leaf axils]. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Perichaetia</b> terminal, leaves ovate-lanceolate to ligulate, shorter than stem leaves. <b>Seta</b> 1–8 mm. <b>Capsule</b> red to yellow-brown, ellipsoidal, operculum rostrate, peristome of 16 red, spiculose, long-linear teeth, not twisted, basal membrane absent. <b>Calyptra</b> cucullate. <b>Spores</b> lightly papillose, 8–10 µm. <b>Laminal</b> KOH color reaction in proximal leaves often orange-brown, in distal leaves yellow.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Species 3 (1 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>As discussed by R. H. Zander (1993), the circumscription of the genus <i>Hyophila</i> is unsatisfactory, being both artificial (e.g., absence of peristome) and polyphyletic. The genus <i>Plaubelia</i> is separated from <i>Hyophila</i> mainly by the presence of a peristome. The two genera are related by the adaxially bulging, abaxially flat laminal cells, spathulate-oblong leaves, poorly differentiated basal cells, similar clavate gemmae (in exotic species) and other characters. The single abaxial stereid band of <i>Plaubelia sprengelii</i> was once an important basis for the genus, but with the inclusion of <i></i>var.<i> stomatodonta</i> with its second stereid band into the variation of the species (Zander 1983), the generic distinction becomes more problematic.</p>
