|discussion=<p><i>Henicodium geniculatum</i> has mostly simple, erect secondary stems, and leaves with single costae. The margins are recurved throughout, and the laminal cells are 1-papillose. The species may be distinguished from <i>Pireella</i> by its leaves that are appressed when dry and spreading when moist (rather than little altered when dry), and laminal cells papillose over the lumina (rather than smooth or prorulose). <i>Henicodium</i> seems most often confused with poorly developed specimens of <i>Pseudocryphaea domingensis</i>; that species has a percurrent costa, laminal cells much wider and usually smooth, and no axillary gemmae but, usually, conspicuous flagellate branches.</p>
