--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Stems </b>golden or orange with age, weakly appressed to substrate, branches many, curved to erect, often hooked at apices; paraphyllia not much branched, sometimes nearly absent. <b>Stem</b> leaves not catenulate, irregular, asymmetric, weakly falcate-secund, lustrous, weakly to strongly concave, distinctly 1 (or 2)-plicate, 0.7–1.4 mm; costa orange at least at base, distal abaxial surface serrulate; alar cells smooth, walls thin, region small; proximal laminal cells usually smooth; medial cells 14–50 × 4–7 µm, slightly shorter and wider proximally; apical cells strongly prorate. <b>Branch</b> leaves with medial and distal laminal cells more strongly prorulose. <b>Seta</b> yellow-orange, slender, flexuose. <b>Capsule</b> yellow-orange to red-brown, 1–2 mm; exostome teeth not bordered.</span><!--

|discussion=<p><i>Lescuraea saxicola</i> is distinguished from most species of <i>Pseudoleskea</i> by its elongate, thin-walled medial laminal cells, and from <i>P. baileyi</i> in lacking a hair-point.</p>
