parece ramosus. Folia erecto-patentia, curviuscula, integra v. cellulis 
margine prominulis, nervo excurrente ; perichzetialia nervo evanido. Theca 
e collo brevi oblongo-elliptica, deoperculata ore plicata, 6-striata, breviter

From the description it may be suspected that this species 
should be referred to Orthotrichum or Ulota.
