This species varies greatly in appearance, from the greater or 
less length of its stems and its more or less deformed capsule. 
The leaves are sometimes shining, but often destitute of gloss. In 
humid localities there are produced on the stems in the axils of 
the upper leaves a number of small buds, not unlike the male 
flowers of many Hypna; these are detached with great facility, 
and remain loose amongst the leaves.
