Plants medium-sized, in dense mats, pale green to yellow-green. Stems 2–6 cm, 1.5–2 mm wide across main leafy shoot, markedly complanate-foliate, subpinnate to irregularly branched, strongly falcate-secund toward substrate at stem and branch apices; pseudoparaphyllia narrowly to lanceolate-filamentous. Leaves falcate-secund, ovate, tapering to apex, 1–1.5 mm; margins toothed in acumen; alar cells 3 or 4, yellowish. Sexual condition dioicous. Seta light brown, 1–1.5 cm. Capsule inclined, oblong-cylindric, somewhat asymmetric; operculum short-rostrate.
Phenology: Capsules mature late fall.
Habitat: Logs, humus, tree trunks, rock, forests

Discussion
Brotherella recurvans resembles Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans (Hypnaceae) superficially, but is generally larger and has inflated alar cells and a toothed apiculus. Branches and main shoots of B. recurvans bear leaves of similar size and areolation, and branching tends to be irregular. The laminal cells are usually linear to sinuate-linear.
Selected References
None.
