Stems 4(–10) cm, 1.5–2 mm wide across main leafy shoot, not complanate-foliate, regularly to irregularly pinnate, branching in one horizontal plane; pseudoparaphyllia foliose to filamentous. Leaves falcate-secund, especially at stem and branch apices, ovate-lanceolate, tapering gradually to apex, 1.5–1.7 mm; margins usually entire, toothed in acumen; alar cells 2–4, orange. Sexual condition dioicous. Seta red-brown, 1.5–2 cm. Capsule inclined, cylindric, slightly asymmetric; operculum long-rostrate, as long as urn.
Phenology: Capsules mature late fall–early spring.
