--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>medium-sized, bright green to yellow-green near tips, stramineous with age. <b>Stems</b> 1–2(–3) cm, weakly julaceous, with or without metallic sheen, older stem sometimes densely brown radiculose. <b>Leaves</b> soft, loosely set, somewhat distant proximally, green, younger leaves sometimes yellowish, ovate, strongly concave, 1–3 mm; base weakly decurrent; margins plane throughout, rarely revolute proximally, entire, limbidium absent; apex rounded to acute, not cucullate; costa brown to yellow-brown, not reaching apex or percurrent, awn absent; basal row of pigmented cells absent; proximal laminal cells abruptly short-rectangular, occasionally with scattered quadrate cells, 2–3:1; medial and distal cells hexagonal, (30–)40–60 × (14–)16–26 µm, 3(–4):1, walls thin, parallel to costa. <b>Specialized</b> asexual reproduction rare, by rhizoidal tubers [leaf axil bulbils], on rhizoids arising from leaf axils, pink to orange, 100–200 µm. <b>Seta</b> ± straight, brown. <b>Capsule</b> inclined to nutant, brown, pyriform, 2–3 mm, neck short. <b>Spores</b> 12–18 µm, smooth to papillose, yellowish.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>European plants of <i>Imbribryum gemmiparum</i> are reported to produce small, leafy bulbils in the leaf axils, but there is some controversy as these are also sometimes described as short innovations with stalks. Molecular studies show that at least some European material appears to be related to the <i>Gemmabryum dichotomum</i> complex. However, North American material is much larger in size and otherwise morphologically closest to other <i>Imbribryum</i> species. In eastern United States material, a short leaf apiculus is often present. Future studies may indicate that there are two species present, one in North America and the other in Europe and the Mediterranean. The plants are typically found in strongly calcareous springs; capsules are rare.</p>
