|discussion=<p><i>Rhizomnium andrewsianum</i> is characterized by diminutive plants with small, reddish to reddish brown, erect leaves, sometimes resembling species of leafy liverworts, especially when mixed with other mosses. The stems are often sinuate at maturity. The leaves are arched with the apex folded upwards towards the stem and margins reflexed when dry, and more or less erect along the stem when moist.</p>
