Plants small to moderately large. Stems to 10 cm, usually shorter; central strand usually present. Stem leaves 0.6–2 × 0.3–0.8 mm, lamina 1-stratose; margins entire or nearly so to serrate; costa to mid leaf, percurrent, or rarely short-excurrent, narrower than 100 µm at base; medial laminal cells 10–60 × 5–15 µm.
Distribution
North America, Central America, South America, Eurasia, s Africa, Pacific Islands (New Zealand), Antarctica.
Discussion
Varieties 2 (2 in the flora).
Subspecies varium occurs in a wide range of habitats and displays, accordingly, a wide range of morphological variability. Many features, like the presence of a central strand in the stem, leaf shape, and shape of the leaf apex, are plastic and depend on water availability.
Selected References
None.
Lower Taxa
None.
