Plants to 3 mm. Leaves lingulate to ovate-lingulate, 1–2.5 mm, margins entire to serrulate, undifferentiated at base, apex piliferous, open, broadly obtuse or rounded; costa undifferentiated, with few or no stereid cells, filaments of 4–8 cells, cells subspheric to cylindric; cells of leaf base 18–37 µm, medial and distal cells 9–22 µm, papillae none. Sexual condition dioicous. Seta 6–14 mm. Capsule urn cylindric to ovoid cylindric, 1.7–3.2 mm; operculum conical, rostrate, erect or slightly inclined, 0.9–1.4 mm; peristome 800–1230 µm, strongly twisted; spores 9–24 µm.
Phenology: Capsules mature Jan–Jul(-Aug).
Habitat: Sunny sandy soil or soil over limestone in dry areas
Elevation: moderate elevations (300-800 m)
