Stems 4–15 mm. Leaves longitudinally folded and spirally twisted around the stem but little crisped when dry, wide-spreading when moist, oblong-lingulate to spatulate, 2–4.5 × 0.6–1.6 mm; margins revolute in the proximal 1/2, entire; apices acute; costa excurrent into a smooth to slightly toothed, hyaline awn, brown or reddish, smooth; basal cells abruptly differentiated, narrower toward the margins; distal cells polygonal, or quadrate, 12–20 µm, with 8–10 papillae per cell; marginal cells not differentiated. Specialized asexual reproduction absent. Sexual condition autoicous. Seta red, 15–25 mm. Capsule red, 3–3.8 mm, straight or slightly curved, with a distinct neck; operculum 1.2–1.5 mm, red; peristome 0.8–1.1 mm, red, the basal membrane pale, about 1/4 the total length. Spores 12–18 µm, papillose.
