Plants yellowish to whitish. Stems terete-foliate to flattened, regularly and densely pinnate, branches 3 mm, ascending, strongly curved, subjulaceous; pseudoparaphyllia triangular, strongly dentate. Stem and branch leaves differentiated. Stem leaves almost straight, broadly ovate-lanceolate, suddenly narrowed to apex, not concave, not plicate, 0.9–1.2 × 0.5–0.6 mm; margins plane, sometimes slightly incurved distally; acumen short; costa double and short or indistinct; alar cells 20–25 along margins, in 6–10 rows; medial laminal cells 25–45 × 4–7 µm. Branch leaves oblong-lanceolate, smaller, narrower, 0.7–0.9 × 0.2–0.3 mm. Seta 1–1.5 cm. Capsule erect to suberect, oblong-ovoid, 1–1.6 × 0.6 mm; exothecial cell shape variable; operculum conic; peristome somewhat reduced; exostome teeth lanceolate, 0.1–0.2 mm, base 45–50 µm wide, finely papillose distally; endostome adherent to exostome teeth except distally, basal membrane developed except distally, segments 2-fid, split, internal surface roughly and finely papillose, segment and cilia connate. Spores 16–25 µm.

Discussion
Pylaisia selwynii is the most frequent and common species of the genus in the flora area; it is easily distinguished by the regularly and densely pinnate stems, broadly ovate-lanceolate stem leaves, comparatively numerous alar cells of the stem leaves, and adherent endostomes except for the distal portion. The stem leaves are secund and cordate.
