Plants slender, scattered not gregarious, light glossy green; 
- stems from radiculose stolons, 2-3 cm. high, simple and naked be- 
low; leaves rosulate, not twisted when dry, 3-5 mm. long, 
broadly elliptical above, with parallel margins at base, blunt with 
the vein disappearing below the apex or with a serrate-cuspidate 
point; vein heavy and frequently red at base, tapering and van- 
ishing below the apex; margins of long prosenchymatous cells 
forming small appressed teeth, entire below. Cells of the lamina 
parenchymatous, elongated hexagonal. 1 X 2. 
Dicecious. Pedicels single, 3-4 cm. long, stramineous, lus- 
trous and sulcate; capsule reflexed, horizontal or erect, 5-7 mm. long, 
constricted below the mouth, neck short; teeth with a very faint 
median line (omitted in fig. 5) segments of endostome split, cilia 
3-4 not appendiculate, faintly papillose, very irregular, variously 
divided and elongated; lid apiculate, calyptra cucullate, annulus

This species belongs to the section Rhodobryum nearest to 
B. proliferum (L). Sibth. (B. roseum, Schreb.), from which it dif-
