--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>small to medium sized, frequently gregarious. <b>Stems</b> irregularly branched, occasionally tomentose; central strand absent or weakly differentiated. <b>Leaves</b> oblong, elliptic, narrowly spathulate or occasionally lanceolate; apex broadly acute to rounded, mucronate to hair-pointed, occasionally cucullate; margins plane to weakly recurved on one or both sides, entire; costa single, subpercurrent to long-excurrent, awn smooth, hyaline; distal laminal cells more or less quadrate, papillose on one or both exposed surfaces with several large, branching or C-shaped papillae; marginal cells sometimes longer proximally, forming a very weak border; basal cells long-rectangular, thin-walled, generally smooth, cross walls frequently distinctly colored. <b>Sexual</b> condition autoicous. <b>Seta</b> elongate, smooth, brown to red or dark red. <b>Capsule</b> generally long-exserted or just emergent, erect to inclined, cylindric, smooth or distinctly furrowed; gymnostomous or peristomate, stomata few; peristome single, double or absent, exostome frequently reduced to small, irregular projections or teeth long, narrow, papillose; operculum usually conic-rostrate. <b>Calyptra</b> smooth or papillose distally or frequently only on rostrum, entire, fringed or lacerate below, fringe small or well developed. <b>Spores</b> generally large, ornamentation papillose to warty, or ridged.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>Species 34 (14 in the flora).</p><!--
--><p>The large, straw-colored calyptrae of <i>Encalypta</i> are generally present in mature colonies, growing on shallow soil over rock in exposed or moderately sheltered recesses. <i>Encalypta</i> can be separated from the only other genus in the family, <i>Bryobrittonia</i>, by papillose distal leaf cells and more or less entire leaf margins.</p><!--
--><p>Excluded Species:</p><!--
--><p><i>Encalypta</i> microstoma Balsamo & De Notaris</p><!--
--><p>No specimens were seen; see D. G. Horton (1983).</p>
