Leaves contorted and crispate when dry, oblong to oblong ovate, imbricate, concave, mostly about 1 mm; margins entire and not bordered; apices broadly acute to rounded, often with a 1–2-celled apiculus; costa ending 4–6 cells before the tip; basal laminal cells rectangular (50–70 × 15–22 µm), distal cells nearly quadrate. Seta brownish yellow, 4–6 mm, not hygroscopic. Capsule ovoid-pyriform, the apophysis forming about half the length, 1.5–2 mm, somewhat sulcate when dry and empty; exothecial cells thickened, narrowly oblong and transversely elongate in 7–9 rows proximal to the mouth; operculum short convex-conic; peristome yellowish brown, lanceolate with trabeculae, papillose basally and nearly smooth at the tips; endostome segments shorter that the teeth, papillose.
