--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>in loose to rather dense pure tufts, dull olive green, becoming dark reddish brown with age. <b>Stems</b> 3–10 cm, arising from a short, erect tuberous rhizome, slender and thread-like, distantly bracteate and appearing almost leafless proximally, ± abruptly leafy distally. <b>Leaves</b> loosely imbricate, 4–6 mm, linear-lanceolate from a sheathing base, the sheath yellowish and nitid, clasping stem; limb reflexed at the shoulders, subtubulose, twisted and contorted when dry, widely spreading and almost plane when moist; costa slender, percurrent, smooth abaxially, ending in a short spine; margins of sheath entire proximally, not hyaline-margined, at shoulders cilia 1-seriate, 0.4–0.6 mm, cells distinctly papillose; no hinge tissue; margins of limb plane, serrations ending in a conical tooth cell, sometimes with 1–2 short cilia near the shoulders; lamina 2-stratose except for a narrow strip just within the margin and locally 1-stratose streaks and patches, adaxial layer of cells strongly bulging mammillose in indistinct longitudinal rows; lamellae 4–5(–9), restricted to the costa, 4–8(–10) cells high, serrations ending in a small toothed cell; sheath cells linear at margin, the median short-rectangular, 23–28 × 6–9 µm; abaxial laminal cells irregularly arranged, subquadrate, 6–10(–12) µm, walls evenly thickened and firm; abaxial costal cells sharply differentiated, narrowly elongate to linear, 25–33(–55) × 5–6 µm. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous; male plants like the female, male inflorescence inconspicuous, several to a shoot, separated by sectors with normal vegetative leaves, perigonial bracts with a broader sheath, but otherwise like the leaves; perichaetial leaves scarcely differentiated. <b>Seta</b> rather stout, 7–12 mm. <b>Capsule</b> yellowish brown, erect, 2.5–4 mm, widest at the mouth; exothecial cells short-rectangular, 40–62 × 26–30 µm, smaller and ± isodiametric below mouth, smooth; stomata superficial, confined to the tapering neck; operculum almost as large as urn, beak about 1 mm; peristome none; columella broadly flaring, extending to capsule rim. <b>Calyptra</b> cucullate.</span><!--
