--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>medium-sized to large. <b>Stems</b> unbranched, sparsely and irregularly branched, or rarely ± pinnate. <b>Stem</b> leaves falcate or strongly falcate, more rarely straight or almost so, strongly or sometimes slightly plicate, 0.6–1.5 mm wide; base ovate-triangular to broadly ovate; margins partly or entirely recurved (most distinct in ventral leaves), sometimes incurved proximally, finely denticulate or almost entire distally; apex long- or very long-acuminate; costa in bottom of deep narrow-angled fold; alar region transversely triangular, transition to supra-alar cells sudden, supra-alar cells quadrate or short-rectangular, chlorophyllose, walls slightly or strongly incrassate, porose, region equal in size to or much larger than alar region; apical laminal cells smooth. <b>Perichaetia</b> with inner leaves gradually narrowed to apex, margins finely denticulate to denticulate distally, apex long-acuminate. <b>Capsule</b> erect or inclined; exothecial cells isodiametric or transversely rectangular, in 3–7 rows; exostome specialized, teeth long, narrow, border not widened at transitional zone in pattern of external tooth; endostome specialized, in recently dehisced capsules strongly yellow, basal membrane constituting 20–30% endostome height, processes perforated only along midline, cilia rudimentary.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Sanionia orthothecioides</i> is normally considerably larger than the other three members of the genus. The species is easily separated from <i>S. uncinata</i> by its reduced and strongly yellow endostome. From <i>S. uncinata</i> and <i>S. symmetrica</i> it differs by its many (3–7 as compared with 1–4) rows of isodiametric or transversely rectangular cells below the capsule mouth, and by the structure of its alar and supra-alar cells. The leaf margin is usually recurved in <i>S. orthothecioides</i>, more rarely so in the other three species, and the costa is usually situated in the bottom of a deep fold in the proximal portion of the leaves in the first species, which is rare in the other three.</p>
