Plants becoming terrestrial. Rootstock horizontally elongate, mat-forming, often proliferous. Leaves deciduous to nearly evergreen, bright green, pale toward base, distichously arranged, to 4 cm, pliant, gradually tapering to tip. Velum covering entire sporangium. Sporangium wall unpigmented. Megaspores dark gray, 275–370 μm diam., tuberculate with low and distinct tubercules; girdle obscure. Microspores brown in mass, 26–33 μm, spinulose. 2n = 22.
Phenology: Spores mature late winter and spring.
Habitat: Shallow pools on granite outcrops
