--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>small to medium-sized, bright green to yellow-green, rarely with reddish tinge. <b>Stems</b> 0.4–1(–2) cm; rhizoids brown to red-brown. <b>Leaves</b> densely imbricate, broadly lanceolate to narrowly ovate, flat to weakly concave, 0.4–1.5(–2) mm; base rarely weakly decurrent; margins plane to weakly revolute basally, entire to serrulate distally, limbidium absent or present, of 1 or 2 rows of elongate incrassate cells; apex acute; costa percurrent to short-excurrent, awn slender; alar cells rectangular, region not differentiated; proximal laminal cells gradually rectangular, 2–4:1; medial and distal cells 60–80 × 8–14(–16) µm, 4–6:1. <b>Specialized</b> asexual reproduction by rhizoidal tubers, on long rhizoids in soil and sometimes in proximal leaf axils, brown, pyriform, 40–80 µm, cells 15–20 µm, smooth to weakly protuberant. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous or rarely synoicous. <b>Capsule</b> suberect, inclined, or nutant, 2–3(–5) mm; peristome occasionally somewhat reduced; endostome cilia sometimes short or poorly developed.</span><!--

|discussion=<p>The typically bright green plants with small brown pyriform tubers, weak limbidium, and quadrate to short-rectangular cells uniform across the leaf base are diagnostic of <i>Gemmabryum valparaisense</i>. This species seems to be found primarily at calcareous springs or other seepy sites, unlike most of the other species in the section, which are found on disturbed soil.</p>
