 Pseudoautoicous : growing in deep tufts, the primary stems 



creeping, bare, the secondary erect, branching, without radicles, 

 5 or 6 cm. high; leaves densely imbricate, spreading, crispate in 

 upper part; stem leaves 5 mm. long, linear-lanceolate, carinate, 

 serrulate about one half down, smooth throughout or with a few 

 low papillae on upper surface toward the base; excurrent costa 

 slightly denticulate; leaf cells below long and narrow, the median 

 in rows, about 6/x wide by 10 to 12/x long, with furrows between, 

 or sometimes scarcely elongate in less distinct rows, the upper 

 elongate, not in rows; perichaetial leaves a little shorter than 

 stem leaves with longer cells above and more abruptly narrowed 

 to the denticulate, excurrent costa; seta smooth, 1.5 to 2.5 cm. 

 high; capsule smooth or nearly so, globose-pyriform, about 1.5 

 mm. high with stomata in several rows near base; lid not seen; 

 peristome double, the outer of reddish-brown, densely papillose 

 teeth, divided scarcely one half down, the inner of about the 

 same height, a little paler, more or less irregularly divided; 

 calyptra without hairs, slightly rough at apex; spores slightly 

 rough, up to 35/z in diameter.

 excurrent.
