Sexual condition dioicous (perigoniate plants mixed with the archegoniate). Seta elongate, 0.2–0.3 cm. Capsule cleistocarpic, short-elliptic, operculum weakly differentiated, peristome absent.

Discussion
Weissia inoperculata is known only from the type specimen (Stanford University, Santa Clara County). It has a gametophyte much like that of Trichostomum brachydontium and may prove better placed in Trichostomum. The operculum is weakly marked off by a ring of several rows of small cells.
