--><p><i>Schlotheimia</i> is distinguished by the distinctive dark reddish coloration, habit in tree canopies and on tree trunks, and 4–6-lobed, campanulate calyptrae. The branches are stout and usually 2-fid; the basal laminal cells are porose; the seta is smooth; the exostome teeth are erect or recurved, well developed, linear-lanceolate, and often blunt; and the endostome segments are shorter than the exostome and pale. The dwarf male plants are found on the leaves of female plants.</p>
