--><span class="statement" id="st-undefined" data-properties=""><b>Plants </b>robust and weak-stemmed; green to golden yellow; capitulum ± rounded in emergent forms, flat in submersed forms; lacking distinct terminal bud. <b>Stems</b> green to brown; superficial cortex of 2 layers of thin-walled and enlarged cells. <b>Stem</b> leaves triangular, 1–1.7 mm, apex acute to slightly obtuse; leaves usually appressed; margins entire; hyaline cells fibrillose and usually septate at base and sides. <b>Branches</b> unranked, long and tapering, leaves greatly elongated at distal end. <b>Branch</b> fascicles with 2 spreading and 2 pendent branches. <b>Branch</b> stems green; cortex enlarged with conspicuous retort cells. <b>Branch</b> leaves ovate-lanceolate to lanceolate, 3–5.5 mm; straight but sometimes slightly falcate-secund; weakly undulate and recurved when dry; margins entire; hyaline cells on convex surface with 0–1 pore per cell, on concave surface with round wall thinnings on the apices and angles; chlorophyllous cells narrowly triangular in transverse section and just enclosed on the concave surface. <b>Sexual</b> condition dioicous. <b>Spores</b> 26–29 µm; both surfaces distinctly papillose, appearing pusticulate to irregularly pusticulate; proximal laesura mostly less than 0.5 spore radius.</span><!--
