|discussion=<p>Pylaisia intricata is a rare species endemic to the flora area. The leaves are homomallous and erect-spreading when dry, wide-spreading when moist, and cordate at the base; the distalmost annulus cells are vesiculose and deciduous. The species is characterized by rather small branch leaves, long-pointed opercula, finely papillose external surface of the distal portion of exostome teeth, and adherent endostome; it can be distinguished from P. polyantha by its adherent endostome and larger spores.</p>
